This Greek Baked Hummus Dip is a warm appetizer made with creamy hummus, seasoned ground lamb, and tangy feta, then topped with fresh veggies. Easy to make in 30 minutes, it’s the perfect Mediterranean-inspired dip for parties, game day, or entertaining.
If making too many versions of my super popular Mexican Baked Hummus Dip is wrong, I don’t want to be right. After all, is there such a thing as having too many easy appetizer recipes on hand? Not in my book.
For this Greek Baked Hummus Dip I decided to brown ground lamb with garlic powder, oregano and a pinch of cayenne before folding it with Roasted Pine Nut Hummus. If you don’t have lamb on hand, ground beef works well too. Of course, you can also swap out meat for chick peas to keep it vegetarian like I did in my Vegetarian Mexican Baked Hummus Dip.
Ingredients
- Hummus: While you can use homemade hummus, I also like to use a roasted pine nut, olive tapenade, or roasted red pepper hummus.
- Ground lamb: You can also use ground beef or ground turkey if you’d like.
- Feta cheese: A Greek cheese that is tangy and creamy.
- Spices: Garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, and some cayenne for a kick season the meat.
How to Make Greek Baked Hummus Dip
Step 1. Start by cooking your ground lamb over medium-high heat on the stove, seasoning with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and cayenne.
Step 2. Then in a baking dish, spread a layer of hummus.
Step 3. Then add the cooked lamb, and continue layering until you’ve used all of the meat and hummus.
Step 4. Sprinkle feta cheese and any leftover meat over the top.
Step 5. Toss in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and hummus is warmed through.
Step 6. Remove from the oven, and top with your favorite toppings like olives, cucumber, tomatoes, banana peppers, and fresh herbs.
Serve alongside pita bread, pita chips, or veggies, and enjoy your Greek Baked Hummus Dip!
