This is a super easy appetizer to prepare the next time you are hosting company. Pepperoncinis are a milder pepper and add a slight bite to the dip, but do not make it spicy. Feta and gorgonzola cheese complement each other wonderfully and add to the punch of flavor. This dip is very rich, thick, and creamy. Fantastic on a slice of toasted bread. This is my take on a Greek feta spread known as Kopanisti. I love the combination of cheeses and the zing from the peppers and garlic. Add the crushed red pepper if you like it extra spicy! Enjoy!

Intructions :
- Place all ingredients in a food processor
