Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz block of feta cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or dill (for garnish)

Instructions
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for easier blending. Peel and mince the garlic and chop the herbs and nuts for garnish.
- In a food processor, combine the block of feta and softened cream cheese. Pulse for about 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides.

- Spread the whipped feta into a shallow bowl or plate, creating swoops with the back of a spoon for visual appeal.
