Instructions
- 1
Make the hot honey: combine the honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey is warm and just beginning to bubble at the edges, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the apple cider vinegar, and set aside to steep while you prepare the feta.

Add the crumbled feta, cream cheese, 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides once or twice, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible feta crumbles, about 2 minutes.
