Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a food processor or mixing bowl, add the feta cheese and cream cheese.
Peel the garlic clove, then finely mince or press it through a garlic press. Add it to the cheese mixture.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and drizzle the olive oil over the mixture.
Sprinkle in the black pepper and salt. Adjust according to taste, keeping in mind that feta cheese is naturally salty.
If using a food processor, pulse the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If mixing by hand, use a fork or spatula to combine everything thoroughly until smooth.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice, dill, or pepper as desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of fresh dill if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh bread, or vegetables, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
