This whipped feta recipe is all about simplicity and speed—no need for extra gadgets or a fancy mixer. Instead of whipping up the feta in a food processor, all you need is a bowl and a fork.

The result is a smooth, tangy, and creamy base that pairs perfectly with the warm boiled eggs and chilli oil. It’s a quick cheat to achieve that luxurious whipped feta texture without the hassle!

Servings: 1 | Prep: 5 mins | Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

  • x2 eggs, free range

  • Turkish bread, sliced and toasted

  • Chili oil, for drizzling

    For the whipped feta

  • 1/4 cup feta

  • 1-2 tbsp milk, (I use soy milk)

  • Pepper, to taste

Method 

  1. Place your eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer a firmer yolk.

  2. While the eggs are cooking, add the feta to a bowl. Pour in the milk and mash with a fork (or the back of a spoon) until smooth and creamy. Season with freshly cracked pepper to taste.

  3. Once the eggs are cooked, peel and slice them. Arrange the whipped feta, eggs, and your choice of toast on a plate. Drizzle with chilli oil and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you have leftover feta, don’t worry! Feta keeps well in the freezer for later use. Simply transfer any unused feta to an airtight container and pop it in the freezer.

    When you’re ready to use it again, defrost it in the microwave at 15-30 second intervals until softened. It’s perfect for adding to salads, pastas, or even more whipped feta recipes!

  • If you’re dairy-free, you can easily swap feta with a plant-based alternative. Look for dairy-free feta varieties available at most health food stores or supermarkets.

    Alternatively, you can use tofu for a similar texture—simply crumble it and season with a little lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to give it that tangy flavour.

  • Make sure you’re using fresh eggs. Otherwise, to make peeling easier, once your eggs are boiled, transfer them immediately to an ice bath or a bowl of cold water for several minutes to stop the cooking process and help loosen the shell.

    Gently tap the egg on a hard surface and roll it to crack the shell, then peel under cold running water to make it easier.
