This Greek Feta Fondue Dip is the perfect tasty and simple appetizer to bring to any Superbowl party next Sunday. Now I am not a huge football fan, I will admit it but I do like getting together with all of our fabulous neighbors for a fun afternoon. Nothing beats getting together with good friends having a few cocktails, great food and letting the kids play and tire themselves out!
This Greek Feta Fondue dip is a Mediterranean twist on the classic Swiss cheese fondue. Creamy, dreamy and delicious is how I describe this fantastic and simple to prepare appetizer.
This dip encompasses all of my favorite flavors of the Mediterranean. Tangy Feta cheese, lemon, dill, tomatoes and Kalamata olives. It is the perfect consistency to dip pita chips or your favorite veggies. Cucumbers pair wonderfully with this dip and are a lighter option for dipping if you are watching your carbs.
One pan and 10 minutes is all you need then you have this amazing dip to snack on!
Enjoy your weekend my friends!

Oh! I love this Greek spin on fondue. Delicious!
Thanks Jenna! Me too I love fondue and the added Greek flavors make it a really tasty treat!
Could this be served chilled?
Hi Emily, This dip is best served warm or hot to keep the cheese at a nice consistency. As it cools it does solidify a bit.
