Herbed Feta Dip

This light and bright dip is amazingly addictive. We served with warm baguettes, but this dip could be served with crackers or veggies as well. 

INGREDIENTS

• 4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

• 1 tsp herbs de blanco

• 8 oz cream cheese

• 8 oz block of feta cheese

• 1/2 lemon: zested and juiced

• garnish: olive oil & herbs de blanco

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat in a small pan. Add minced garlic and heat until garlic starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. (Careful not to burn the garlic!)

2. Remove from heat and add red pepper flakes and herbs de blanco to oil.

3. In a processor, pulse together cream cheese and feta cheese.

4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, juice and zest from lemon and garlic oil to processor and pulse again until combined.

5. Spread onto a plate or bowl and top with garnishes if desired.

6. If you make it the night before, make sure to pull it out of the refrigerator early so it has time to soften up (spreadable), before you serve it.
