Whipped Feta Dip
8 ounces block feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives + more for serving
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1-2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Spiced Pita Chips
2 pita pocket breads
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon za'atar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1
Combine feta, greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, chives, and black pepper in a food processor. Process until a smooth consistency is achieved. Transfer dip to a serving bowl.
2
Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a pan over medium high heat. Stirring constantly to prevent chile flakes from burning, cook until oil is very hot and infused with the chile, about 2 minutes. Add the pine nuts, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until pine nuts are a deep golden brown. Immediately pour toasted pine nuts and chile oil atop feta dip. Top with additional chopped chives and serve with spiced pita chips for dipping.
3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4
Cut the pita breads into eighths. Separate each pita triangle into two pieces (the top and bottom of the pocket) by tearing along the top edge.
5
Spread pita triangles on a baking sheet and toss evenly with the olive oil, za'atar, and smoked paprika.
6
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until pita chips are golden brown and toasty.
