This easy pumpkin whipped feta spread combines the creamy tang of feta cheese with the sweet, earthy flavor of pumpkin puree. Toasted baguette slices serve as the crisp foundation for the pumpkin feta mixture, which is topped with bright, refreshing slices of crisp apple and crunchy pumpkin seeds to add a warm, nutty element. A few leaves of fresh arugula over the top provide a slightly peppery finish that cuts through the richness of the cheese and ties all the autumn flavors together.

    12 ounces feta cheese block

2 In a food processor, add pumpkin, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon and red pepper flakes. Pulse until smooth.

TIPS & TRICKS

This whipped feta and pumpkin puree spread is a versatile appetizer because its texture is perfect for both spreading and dipping. While our recipe used it on crostini, its smooth, rich consistency makes it also a good option for a dip paired with crispy crackers, warm pita bread, crunchy pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks. Try adding this pumpkin whipped feta dip to a charcuterie board or snack platter at your next fall gathering.
