This Garlic Feta Cheese spread has made many appearances at holidays and parties over the years. My kids would be disappointed if this was not on our Christmas menu every year. I would always double the recipe to ensure there was enough for guests when they arrived! The appetizers were always out early, and my kids would come through the kitchen, running laps around the kitchen island sneaking snacks with each pass around.

This is a perfect appetizer for so many reasons! Let me share a few with you?

• Garlic is delicious!

• This spread is so special it can be the center of attention! Surround it with crackers, breadsticks, or warm pita and add a fresh garnish. It is beautiful! It can also fit perfectly into a large charcuterie or cheese board.

• Feta is delicious!

• Garlic Feta Cheese Spread is made of simple ingredients, that are easily accessible. Plus this recipe comes together quickly (make sure you allow time for the cream cheese to come to room temperature). When you use the bowl and spoon method, you have minimal dishes to clean.

• Cream Cheese is delicious!

• When your ingredients are fresh, you could easily make this recipe 2 - 3 days before you’re planning on serving it. I prefer to make it in advance so that it can chill and the flavors can develop.

• Herbs are delicious!

• Garlic Feta Cheese Spread is super simple to bring to a party! Store it in a container with a lid, toss all your crackers and vegetables in a bag with a serving tray - you’re ready to party! Please, please, please, whenever you’re bringing food to a party, bring the serving utensils required for the recipe, and a serving tray! Your host will have enough going on. I can guarantee you, digging around for extra platters, bowls or utensils is not on their list of things to do! Pick up some disposable trays and utensils at a party store, so the host doesn’t have to worry about washing them and getting them back to you! I love to pick up pieces at resale shops and leave them behind as gifts. This is extra special when your host is a new homeowner still building entertainment pieces.

• Garlic Feta Cheese Spread is delicious!

This Spread truly is delicious! The Feta cheese is tangy and salty plus adds texture. The garlic and herbs pair perfectly together, plus the little bit of lemon zest lightens it up with freshness!
