1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, toss the halved strawberries with balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes, until they are soft and caramelized.
4. While the strawberries are roasting, prepare the whipped feta. In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Slowly add the heavy cream and continue to blend until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator until the strawberries are ready.
7. Once the strawberries are done, let them cool slightly before spooning them over the whipped feta dip.
8. Garnish with fresh mint if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of dippers.
Variations & Tips
For a twist on this classic combination, try adding a splash of balsamic glaze over the strawberries for extra depth of flavor. You can also experiment with other fruits like raspberries or blackberries when in season. If you’re looking for a heartier option, serve this dip with a side of warm, toasted baguette slices or incorporate it into a sandwich spread for a delightful, tangy twist.
