8 oz feta cheese
8 oz cream cheese
2 Tbsp. sour cream

1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
2 tsp. fresh dill weed, chopped

Garnish:
black olives
fresh herbs

Crumble feta cheese into bowl of food processor with chopping blade intact. Mash garlic clove with flat edge of knife or in garlic press and add to processor bowl. Add herbs, with chives

To substitute fresh herbs, start with approximately ½ tsp. basil, 1 Tbsp. each of chives and parsley, and ¼ tsp. each thyme and dill.

Add more of any herb, if you wish. Process just until herbs are chopped. Add cream cheese and sour cream. Process until desired consistency, adding more sour cream for a softer spread. Makes about one pint.
