Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Peel the garlic cloves, place them on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly in the foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, roasted garlic, remaining olive oil, and lemon juice.
Pulse the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Add the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the food processor, then pulse a few more times to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as per your preference.
Transfer the pate to a serving dish and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
