Creamy spinach feta cheese dip made of sauteed spinach with feta cheese, honey and seasonings is slightly salty and sweet in taste and makes delicious dip for crackers, chips, veggies etc or you can use it as a spread.
Cook in medium low heat until the leaves begin to wilt.
Add salt, oil and all spice powders and also dried minced onions, mix well and cook for couple of minutes until the spinach leaves are well sauteed and the flavors are well blended with the spinach.
Now place the feta cheese block in the frying pan, change the heat to low and crumble the cheese using your spatula, carefully.
If you find this difficult to do in the pan, you can crumble the cheese separately and add the crumbled feta cheese directly to the spinach leaves in the pan.
Once the feta cheese is added, also add the honey, stir well to combine with the rest of the ingredients.
Keep the heat at low and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Stir the contents and add heavy cream and more seasoning (like more black pepper, dried basil etc) as desired.
Serve hot as a dip or creamy sauce with french bread, crackers, veggies, nachos, fries etc as you like.
This is best served hot, as the cheese will thicken as it cools down.
Notes
Feta cheese is salty in taste so make sure you do not add a lot of salt in this recipe.The addition of honey is to balance out the salty taste of the dish which works perfectly well by adding a sweet taste.Also, as I mentioned early, this dish is best served as soon as it is made. The creamy texture thickens as it sits on and you may not be able to use it as a dip or spread later.
