Herbed Cheese Spread
Ingredients
- 8 ozs. feta cheese
- 8 ozs. cream cheese, softened
- 1 garlic clove
- fresh chives, cut into 3 inch pieces
- fresh basil leaves, chopped
- fresh parsley, chopped
- fresh thyme, chopped
- fresh dill weed, chopped, optional
Directions
Crumble feta cheese into bowl of food processor with chopping blade intact. Mash garlic clove with flat edge of knife or in garlic press and add to processor bowl. Add herbs, with chives snipped into 3 inch pieces. No quantities are given for fresh herbs because they should be added according to individual taste. To substitute dried herbs, start with approximately 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1 tablespoon each of chives and parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon each thyme and dill. Add more of any herb, if you wish. Process just until herbs are chopped. Add cream cheese and sour cream. Process until desired consistency, adding more sour cream for a softer spread. Makes about one pint.
