  2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pistachios for 3–4 minutes until they become lightly golden and fragrant.
  3. Place honey in the microwave and heat it for 10–15 seconds just until it’s drizzly.
  4. Scoop the whipped feta mixture into a serving bowl, creating swoops for the toppings.
  5. Drizzle the warm honey over the whipped feta, sprinkle with toasted pistachios and cranberries.
  6. Serve immediately with warm pita, crunchy crackers, or fresh veggies.
