To make the blistered tomatoes, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the tomatoes and let sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes - if the pan is getting too hot, turn to medium-low heat.
Add the salt, pepper and minced garlic to the tomatoes, stir a few times to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the heat and put the tomatoes into a bowl to fully cool.
Once the tomatoes are cooled, make the whipped feta by combining the feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse until combined and creamy.
To make the hot honey, stir together the liquid honey, hot sauce and a pinch of chili flakes.
To assemble the dip, spread the whipped feta on a plate or in a low bowl. Use a slotted spoon or fork to transfer the cooled tomatoes onto the feta. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle of fresh thyme. Serve with pitas and enjoy!

Make the blistered tomatoes ahead of time, fully cool and store in the fridge. You can use them to top the feta later in the day!
