- Use block feta packed in brine for the smoothest, most flavorful base.

03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Peaches, cherries, or figs can replace strawberries.
- Goat cheese can replace half the feta for a softer, tangier spread.
Refrigerate whipped feta and strawberries separately for up to 3 days. Bring the feta toward room temperature and warm berries before assembling.
