My grandmother first made this recipe a few years ago. It quickly became a family favorite. The spread is best if allowed to chill overnight. Try it with tortilla chips, potato chips, or crackers.

Categories Spreads

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

10 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons Greek yogurt or 5 tablespoons sour cream
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2-2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce

Steps:

Beat all the ingredients with a mixer until combined and fluffy (adjust heat to personal preference by adding more tabasco).
Keeps up to 1 week in refrigerator.

Tips:

Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your spread. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and has a good melting quality.
Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding your own cheese will give you a better result.
Use a variety of cheeses: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of cheese. For example, you could use a cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper jack cheese.
Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some chopped jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or sriracha sauce to your spread.
Don't overcook the spread: The cheese should be melted and smooth, but not overcooked. Overcooked cheese will become tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

This spicy cheese spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with crackers, vegetables, or bread. It can also be used as a dip for chicken wings or other finger foods. No matter how you serve it, this cheese spread is sure to be a hit.
