Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Place the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper into a food processor.

- For a spicy version, mix 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes into the honey before drizzling.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, roast the garlic clove before adding it to the food processor.
- You can substitute pistachios or dried cranberries for the fresh herbs as a topping if desired.
