Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap them securely into a foil packet.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 20 minutes until soft and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, roasted garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or warm pita bread. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
