1teaspoonfresh lemon juice
2tablespoonswhole milk or plain Greek yogurt

⅓cupchopped pistachiosfor garnish

Instructions
Break the feta into chunks and rinse briefly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to reduce saltiness. Let it drain well.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Warm over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat and let cool.
Transfer the feta to a food processor with lemon juice and milk or Greek yogurt. Blend until it resembles ricotta.
Slowly drizzle in olive oil while blending. Scrape down the sides and continue blending until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the whipped feta into a shallow bowl and swirl the surface with the back of a spoon.
Drizzle the cooled hot honey over the top and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices. Optional: pair with fresh fruit, olives, or crisp veggies.
