Equipment NeededFood processor, skillet, spatula, measuring cups, serving bowl

Ingredients

  • 8 oz feta cheese (block, room temperature)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4–5 sage leaves
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 pinch black pepper (optional)

Ingredient Notes

  • Feta Cheese: Use a block of feta, not the crumbled kind — it whips up smoother and creamier.
  • Greek Yogurt: Helps lighten the dip and adds extra creaminess.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure it’s 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Either adds the perfect hint of sweetness.
  • Sage and Thyme: Fresh herbs bring that warm holiday aroma to the dip.
  • Butter & Olive Oil: Used for sautéing the sage for an earthy, rich flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the sage.

In a small skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they’re slightly crispy and fragrant (about 1–2 minutes). Set aside a few leaves for garnish.

Step 2: Blend the base.

Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and pumpkin puree to your food processor. Blend until creamy and smooth.

Step 3: Sweeten it up.

Drizzle in the honey (or maple syrup), and blend again until everything is combined. Scrape down the sides to make sure it’s evenly mixed.

Step 4: Season.

Add salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of thyme. Pulse once or twice.

Step 5: Add the sage flavor.

Pour in the warm butter and olive oil mixture (with the cooked sage) and blend one last time until fluffy and silky.

Step 6: Serve.

Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with a touch of olive oil or honey, and top with crispy sage leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
