This is adapted from Emeril at the Grill , a cookbook I enjoy very much. I used this spread on lamb burgers, but it would also be great as a vegetable dip (thinned a bit) or a sandwich spread. The original recipe calls for mint, which I don't care for, so I replaced it with basil. Cooking time does not include time to chill.
Ingredients:
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
1/2 cup greek yogurt
2 tablespoons green onions (green part only)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and blend well. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt or cayenne if needed.
2. Refrigerate, covered, for at least an hour before serving.
