Feta Pesto Spread

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Ingredients

  1. half cup Feta cheese
  2. 2T Basil crushed (or dried, though better fresh)
  3. 1t Garlic crushed (again, dried does not work well here)
  4. 2T Oil
Instructions
  1. Chop Feta cheese into small blocks/squares
  2. Add Basil, Garlic, and Oil
  3. Mash the entire lot with a fork until it blends and becomes creamy. You can use a blender or Bullet to do this part if you want.

Feel free to vary the amount of ingredients according to your taste. This spread is great in sandwiches, on top of steak or other meats/meals, and goes excellently with scrambled eggs (right into the egg mixture when cooking).
This spread should last a fairly long time in the fridge.
