Feta Dip a la Humps

I really want there to be more fanfare for this...I made feta dip tonight that tastes exactly like the feta dip at one of my favorite Huntsville, Texas restaurants, Humphrey's. Humphrey's is a bar and grill in my college town. One of my favorite things to order there after a long week of music camps in the summer is this dip. We get several orders and share stories from the week. I'm gonna share with you all that is awesome. And, it is awesome.


Feta Dip a la Humps

1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tsp greek yogurt
2-4 olives, chopped or sliced
diced tomatoes
oregano

Dipping Bread
olive oil
pre-made pizza crusts or pita bread
oregano

For the dip, combine feta and yogurt. Using a fork, mash them together EXTREMELY well. You want the texture to be pretty smooth. If you have a small food processor, you might use that, but I think the one I had was sacrificed to the gnomes of Hunts-vegas, so I just mixed...and mixed...and mixed. Sprinkle with a dash of oregano, tomatoes and olives.

For the vehicle to get the feta from bowl to mouth, the options offered at Humphrey's are pita bread and garlic bread. My personal favorite is the pita bread, but I do like the garlic bread, too. The pita bread is super simple...my HEB has herb pita bread things that are great, but at Wally World, I just grabbed a store brand pizza crust from the bakery section. Since the pizza crust is pretty big, I divided it into quarters and bagged the extra up for later. Here's what I did:

Preheat oven to 350. Drizzle the pizza crust/pita bread slices very lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the bread is slightly toasted.

Cover the pieces with GENEROUS amounts of feta and enjoy the gift from heaven.

Happy Cooking!!
