• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork or a potato masher to blend the cheeses together until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the Fantastic Feta Cheese Spread to a serving dish. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top for a finishing touch, and garnish with a sprig of dill or parsley if desired.
