    Herbed Cheese Spread

    Recipe By : Sandy's Recipe Journal
    Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Condiments

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    8 ounces feta cheese
    8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
    2 tablespoons sour cream
    1 clove garlic
    Fresh chives -- cut in 3" pieces
    Fresh basil leaves -- chopped
    Fresh parsley -- chopped
    Fresh thyme -- chopped
    Fresh dill weed -- chopped

    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, according to your taste. To substitute dried herbs, start with approximately 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1 tbsp. 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.
    Serve with crackers or raw veggies.

    Makes about one pint

    NOTES : Excellent for stuffing raw vegetables (celery, cherry tomatoes and pepper wedges) for a quick hors d'oeuvre. Or serve with crackers, or toast rounds, mini bagel chips. I made this for an herb demo my sister-in-law gave for a church and got rave reviews for it!
