Ingredients

Pita Bread

8 oz. Good Feta Cheese8 oz. Good Feta Cheese
6 oz. Jarred HOT Banana Peppers (+3 tbsp reserved pepper juice)6 oz. Jarred HOT Banana Peppers (+3 tbsp reserved pepper juice)
1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1 clove garlic, minced (*optional)1 clove garlic, minced (*optional)

Instructions

Chop up your banana peppers and in a bowl, add your feta, hot peppers, pepper juice and red pepper flakes.
Use a fork to break up your feta and mix everything together.
Serve chilled with warm pita bread or slices of crusty bread.
Tips for warming your pita:
Toss the WHOLE pita bread round on the grill, in a grill pan, under the broiler OR my favorite way, directly over your burner. You want a slight char on your pita. This will take the flavor to another level so don't skip it! It only takes 5 minutes to do! Then cut into triangles and serve.

Recipe Notes

Store in the fridge until ready to serve. (Can do a few days ahead of time.)

If using garlic, let your dip sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This will allow the garlic flavor to build.
