One of my favorite ways to use this crumbly homemade cheese is for Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie).

I served this spanakopita for Easter lunch last year with roasted potatoes and a pretty spring salad sprinkled with this feta.

I like this recipe because it looks, tastes, and feels like dairy-based feta. Simple seasonings provide savory flavor while vinegar adds the touch of tanginess you would expect from feta cheese.

How to Make Vegan Feta Cheese:

STEP ONE: Blend together all ingredients. Into a food processor, add the tofu, coconut oil, water, super agar powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, vinegar, and oregano. Blend until the consistency is smooth.

STEP TWO: Heat it up. Into a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, add the entire mixture. Bring to a simmer then continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

STEP THREE: Cool it down. Pour into a medium-size glass bowl. Allow the vegan feta to sit at room temperature until completely cooled.
