Guests absolutely love the combination of warm, creamy feta, rich olive oil, fragrant garlic, and a subtle heat from pul biber (Aleppo pepper).
Unlike the usual dips, this dish brings a warm, melty, and unique element to the spread, making it an instant favorite. Pair it with warm pita, crusty bread, or crisp veggies, and you have a mezze experience that’s simple yet unforgettable.
