  • Total Time: 30 minutes
    • Prep Time: 15 minutes
    • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 48 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Start by gathering all your ingredients: cream cheese, feta cheese, garlic cloves, milk, and fresh spinach.
  2. Process Garlic:

    • Peel and process the garlic cloves until finely minced.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese and Milk:

    • In a food processor or blender, combine the minced garlic with the cream cheese and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Feta and Spinach:

    • Add the crumbled feta cheese and fresh spinach leaves to the cream cheese mixture in the blender.
  5. Blend Until Smooth:

    • Blend all the ingredients together for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The texture will be creamy and spreadable, though slightly loose.
  6. Chill the Spread:

    • Transfer the spinach feta and garlic spread to a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up slightly.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once chilled, serve the spread with your favorite dippers or use it as a flavorful spread for sandwiches. It also pairs beautifully with vegetables, crackers, or pretzels.
