Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

10 ounces feta cheese
1 cup yogurt (drained in a paper towel lined sieve for 4 hours)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
fresh ground black pepper
black olives, as a garnish (such as Kalamata)
3 fresh pita breads, each cut into 8 to 12 wedges (8-inch diameter)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the feta, yogurt, and 1/4 teaspoons salt in a bowl and mash with a fork to make a smooth paste. Alternatively this can be pureed in a food processor. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, paprika, and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper and mix well.
Wrap the pita tightly in foil and place in the oven until warm, about 10 minutes.
Spread the feta puree on a serving plate. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, and garnish with olives. Serve with the warm pita.
