Three Cheese Pepperoncini Spread is a Mediterannean-style appetizer that goes great with crackers. This creamy dip has lots of cheese flavor and a lot of kick from some pepperoncini peppers. I also add some crushed red pepper flakes to add to the spiciness.
Three Cheese Pepperoncini Spread makes a delicious appetizer for parties and potlucks and can be made in less than 10 minutes. No matter how busy you are, you have time to make this incredible cheese spread.
Cream cheese, feta cheese, and blue cheese are combined with a little olive oil to thin it out, plus some juice from the jar of pepperoncini peppers. A clove of garlic is also added for flavor.
Pepperoncini Peppers
Pepperonicini peppers are pickled peppers that have a mild heat level. They are from Italy and Greece and are great in salads, on a sandich, or as a pizza topping. I love them in this chicken dinner, pasta sauce, spicy pasta salad, and garlic bread. And of course they are the signature ingredient in the ever popular Mississippi Beef.
If pepperoncini peppers are one of your favorite parts of a Greek salad, you are going to love this cheese spread. The feta cheese and blue cheese combine to create a salty dip packed full of flavor.
How To Serve
In addition to being delicious spread on crackers, this Three Cheese Pepperoncini Spread works well as a dip for crudites. I especially love it spread on cucumber rounds! It’s also a tasty party dip to serve with pita chips or potato chips.

Definitely a different type of spread. My family loved it and even used it on a sandwich! The next day it was great too after the flavors intensified. Perfect combination with the cheeses!
This recipe is delicious! The only thing I did differently was that I added an extra clove of garlic and I opted not to add red pepper flakes, but I imagine it would be great either way. I recommend this recipe!
Feta cheese would definitely be good in this.
This looks delicious! I do have one question though, I’m not a fan of blue cheese. I just can’t with it. I know you said it pairs well, but is there any other cheese I could possibly use? Something milder?
Gorgonzola?
Queso Fresco is a perfect choice!
