Instructions

In a food processor, blend feta cheese, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the whipped feta into a shallow serving bowl and create swirls with the back of a spoon.
Warm 1/4 cup olive oil in a small pan and lightly fry sage or basil leaves until crisp but still green.
Pour the herb-infused oil over the whipped feta.
Top with green olives and crispy herb leaves.
Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the feta blend.
You can swap green olives for Kalamata olives for a more intense flavor.
Use high-quality feta and extra virgin olive oil for the best taste.
Make the whipped feta a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
