 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8      ounces        feta cheese
  8      ounces        cream cheese
  2      tablespoons   sour cream
  1      clove         garlic
                       fresh chives -- cut in 3" pieces
                       fresh basil leaves -- chopped
                       fresh parsley -- chopped
                       fresh thyme -- chopped
                       fresh dill weed -- chopped (optional)

    Crumble feta cheese into bowl of food processor with chopping blade
intact. Mash garlic clove with flat edge of knife or in garlic press and
add to processor bowl. Add herbs, with chives snipped into 3 inch pieces.
No quantities are given for fresh herbs because they should be added
according to individual taste. To substitute dried herbs, start with
approximately 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1 tablespoon each of chives and parsley,
and 1/4 teaspoon each thyme and dill. Add more of any herb, if you wish.
Process just until herbs are chopped. Add cream cheese and sour cream.
Process until desired consistency, adding more sour cream for a softer
spread. Makes about one pint.
