Start by crumbling feta cheese yourself for better texture or use prepackaged feta crumbles.

Add 4 oz of cream cheese to the food processor.

Pour in a little olive oil and put the lid on the food processor.

Pulse the mixture a few times to combine the cheeses before adding seasonings.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil to the processor.

Put the lid back on and pulse a couple more times until well blended.

Use a spatula to transfer the dip from the food processor to a footed serving bowl, scraping every bit out.

Spread the dip from the center of the bowl to the edges to create a well in the center.

Fill the well with honey and garnish with chopped chives on one half of the dip.

Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios for crunch and finish with cracked black pepper and a few flakes of red pepper.
