FETA SPREAD



Feta Spread image

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality feta cheese:

    • Avoid feta cheese that is made from cow's milk as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Crumble the feta cheese before adding it to the spread. This will help to ensure that the spread is smooth and creamy.
  • Use fresh herbs in the spread to add flavor. Some good options include oregano, thyme, basil, and dill.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the spread to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve the spread chilled or at room temperature. It can be served with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.
