Whipped feta
- Put the feta in a mini chopper with a couple of tablespoons of the yogurt and blitz until the feta is smooth and creamy.
- Add the rest of the yogurt, the lemon juice, lemon zest and freshly ground pepper, – and blitz in the mini chopper until you have a smooth, creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt.*Take care not to blend it for too long in the mini chopper, or you may find the consistency becomes too thin.
Toast with whipped feta, figs, honey and hazelnuts

- Drizzle honey over the top, and finish with the toasted, chopped hazelnuts, fresh thyme, freshly ground pepper and a little flaky sea salt.
