Questions

Can I make Htipiti (Spicy Feta Pepper Dip) dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled, 4 oz cream cheese, softened) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Htipiti (Spicy Feta Pepper Dip) keep?

Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Can I halve or double Htipiti (Spicy Feta Pepper Dip)?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
