Prepare Ingredients:
Before diving into the recipe, consider roasting the garlic cloves to intensify their flavor. This simple step can elevate the taste of your spread to new heights. -
Process Aromatics:
In a food processor, combine the garlic cloves (roasted or raw), dried basil, and green onions. Process the mixture until finely chopped, ensuring the aromatics are evenly distributed. -
Blend Cheeses:
Once the aromatics are finely chopped, add in the cottage cheese and crumbled feta. Pulse the food processor until the cheeses are blended well but still maintain a slightly chunky texture. This chunkiness adds a delightful contrast to the creamy spread. -
Chill and Serve:
Transfer the prepared Garlic Herb Spread to a serving dish and refrigerate for a short while to allow the flavors to meld together. Chilling the spread also helps it to firm up slightly, making it easier to spread onto your favorite breads or crackers. -
Enjoy!
Once chilled, serve the Garlic Herb Spread alongside bagels, crackers, or any other accompaniments of your choice. Its savory, herbaceous flavors are sure to delight your taste buds and leave you craving more.
