Greek Feta Spread (Kopanisti) is a version of spreadable feta cheese mixed with bleu cheese, red peppers and savory herbs.

Greek Feta Spread (Kopanisti) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We get together monthly to share recipes on a common theme. It is Stacy’s birthday so she has asked that we bring a dish (recipe) to a virtual potluck. If we were all together in person, including you dear reader, this would be the spread. Enjoy.
And Happy Birthday Stacy!

There is actually a type of cheese called Kopanisti but this recipe does not use it. However, it is inspired by that cheese and its flavors. It goes nicely on top of warm pita or crackers. And I also like it on top of a grilled lamb burger.

I love the idea of topping a lamb patty with this spread but, equally, I think I could just eat it with a spoon, Sue! What a delicious combo of cheeses!
This sounds absolutely decadent. I love cheese and blue cheese is my absolute favorite.
An interesting spread Sue. Would love to make a batch to go with crackers and use it as a spread for sandwiches. I’d probably have to use cream cheese and blue cheese mixed.
Absolutely decadent! I am sure it will disappear in my place in minutes with a spoon. Love the combo of cheese here.
