Syrian Feta Spread

Submitted by Pesto lover

"This tasty spread can be served with crackers or bread. I like it on melba toast. Recipe is adapted from New Land Vineyard's recipe. I like this on half a bagel, topped with sliced tomato and cucumber. This is also a great spread to use on a sandwich, instead of mayo. I have made this with two tbsp butter (trying to cut the fat) and it is just fine, just not as creamy. If you are in a terrific hurry, just throw everything into the food processor."

Oh this is delicious!!!! So much better than the premade cheese spreads that are soooo expensive! I added a little cracked black pepper. Served with crackers and carrots for dipping. I'm gonna bet using this for a few days, cuz it made a lot! Made for ZWT 6 and the Looney Spoon Phoodies!

Looking for the million stars button! What a delicious treat on Morrocan olive bred! I put leftovers on crackers to share with coworkers, then used some as a spread in a yogurt grilled chicken wrap for lunch. I'll be making more this weekend! Made for ZWT6 by a Looney SPoon Phoodie
