FETA SPREAD

This is adapted from "Emeril at the Grill", a cookbook I enjoy very much. I used this spread on lamb burgers, but it would also be great as a vegetable dip (thinned a bit) or a sandwich spread. The original recipe calls for mint, which I don't care for, so I replaced it with basil. Cooking time does not include time to chill.

I found this on a fresh oregano package. Says to serve it with your favorite crackers, crusty bread or pita toasts. I think it would be great with fresh veggies as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right feta: Use a high-quality feta cheese that is soft and creamy. Avoid using hard or crumbly feta, as it will not blend well.
  • Prepare the feta in advance: If the feta is too cold, it will not blend well. Let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy spread. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the feta with a fork, but it will take longer.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your feta spread, such as herbs, spices, garlic, or onion. Be creative and experiment until you find a combination that you like.
  • Serve the feta spread immediately: Feta spread is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Feta spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful spread that will impress your guests. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.
