ALMOND 'FETA CHEESE' SPREAD WITH HERB OIL (VEGAN)
From the Fab Five list in the April 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times. I never thought I'd have enough time to make vegan "cheese," but because this was one of the editors' picks I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did! Though it's called "feta cheese," in the title, it really is a creamy spread. I told my DH that it was an "almond spread" and he loved it! Asked what kind of cheese I used in it, and was surprised to learn there was none. The recipe is really easy, but takes lots of waiting time (not included in the times). I'm listing it exactly like in the magazine. But for the oil topping at the end, I think 1/4 cup oil is too much. Personally, I'm cutting it back to 2 tablespoons next time. Enjoy! Edited to add: The original recipe in the magazine says to bake it 200F for 40 minutes, but as several reviewers noted here (and I agree) it's better in a hotter oven. Try 400F and watch for it to brown. Baking is only needed to turn it from creamy to crumbly, so it's completely up to you.

Steps:
- Place almonds in medium bowl and cover with 3 inches of water. Let soak 24 hours. Drain and rinse.
- Puree almonds, lemon juice, 3 T olive oil, garlic, salt and 1/2 cup water in blender or food processor for 6 minutes or until really creamy.
- Place a triple layer of cheesecloth in strainer and spoon almond mixture onto cheesecloth. Bring sides together twist into an orange-sized ball and secure with a twist tie. Chill for 12 hours.
- Line baking sheet with parchment and transfer almond ball from cheesecloth. Shape to look like a 6" round of brie (about 3/4" thick). (Note, I just put it into a pretty pottery bowl and baked it. Then I could pour the oil on top and serve it. No parchment needed.).
- Bake 40 minutes or until top is slightly firm. Cool. Then chill.
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil with herbs and heat over medium low heat until heated through but not simmering. Cool to room temperature and drizzle over almond spread just before serving.
- Spread on crusty bread or crakers. You'll love it!

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Different cheeses have different flavors and textures, so it's important to choose one that will work well with the other ingredients in your spread. For example, a soft, creamy cheese like Brie or Camembert will make a smooth, spreadable dip, while a hard, crumbly cheese like Parmesan or cheddar will add a sharp, nutty flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a bright, vibrant flavor to herb cheese spreads. Some popular choices include basil, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme. You can use a single herb or a combination of several herbs, depending on your taste preferences.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity can help to balance out the richness of the cheese and herbs. This can be achieved by adding lemon juice, lime juice, vinegar, or even yogurt to your spread.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your spread and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or other spices to taste.
- Serve with your favorite dippers: Herb cheese spreads can be served with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, bread, vegetables, and fruit. Choose dippers that will complement the flavor of your spread.
Conclusion:
Herb cheese spreads are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They can be made with a variety of different cheeses, herbs, and other ingredients, so you can easily find a recipe that suits your taste.
