Ingredients You’ll Need

This feta cheese pizza infuses classic Italian pizza with Mediterranean flavors using simple ingredients you can find at your local grocery store. Here’s what we use:

Feta Cheese – Crumbled, full-fat feta cheese works finest.
Cream Cheese – Used to enhance the creaminess of the texture and add a hint of tangy flavor.
Yogurt – Plain yogurt or Greek yogurt helps combine the ingredients, creating a smooth, fluffy texture.
Lemon Juice – The acidity cuts through some of the heaviness of the fats, creating a well-balanced flavor.
Garlic – Use whole cloves, and mince them into tiny pieces for a sweet, savory flavor.
Seasonings – Salt, black pepper, and Green Goddess seasoning create an herbaceous flavor that makes this feta pizza better than anything you’ll find in the store!
Olive Oil – This is added to feta, creating a velvety texture and a rich taste. Plus, it adds a boost of healthy fats to keep you full!
Pizza Crust – To keep this feta pizza super simple, we use pre-made Naan pizza crust. However, any pre-made crust or store-bought pizza dough will work.
Pizza Toppings – We include fresh tomatoes, Manzanilla green olives, Kalamata olives, and low-moisture fresh Mozzarella cheese.

How to Make An Simple Whipped Feta Cheese Pizza

Because we use a pre-made crust, this feta cheese pizza comes together in minutes.

Prepare the Whipped Feta. Add the tangy feta, cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings to the bowl of a food processor. Turn the food processor on low, and slowly add the oil as it runs. Continue to whip the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Top the Crust. Divide the whipped feta evenly among the pizza bases, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle your toppings of choice on top.
Bake. Arrange the feta cheese pizzas on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and place it in a preheated oven. Let the pizzas bake until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown on top.
Serve. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top, if desired. Then, dig in while it’s warm!

Common Questions About This Whipped Feta Cheese Pizza

What toppings go well with whipped feta pizza?

The Mediterranean flavor of feta pairs amazingly with roasted cherry tomatoes, Kalamata and green olives, red onions, and fresh herbs! You can also try honey and hot honey for a sweet-spicy kick, or go all out with prosciutto, arugula, and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil after baking.

Does whipped feta melt on pizza?

Whipped feta doesn’t melt like mozzarella – instead, it gets warm and slightly creamier while maintaining its structure. That’s actually part of its charm! You’ll probably want to add some melty cheese like mozzarella or provolone on top if you’re craving that stretchy cheese pull.

Can I make whipped feta pizza ahead of time?

The whipped feta spread can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge! Just bring it to room temperature before spreading it on your pizza dough, as it’ll be easier to work with. The assembled pizza is finest made fresh though, for the crispiest crust.

Is whipped feta pizza good cold?

Surprisingly, yes! The whipped feta base makes this pizza extra memorable when eaten cold – kind of like a fancy flatbread. The flavors actually get even better as they come together, making leftover whipped feta pizza a fantastic lunch option.
