Ingredients

10 cloves garlic roughly 1 head
4 ounces feta cheese ½ cup crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese softened
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh basil
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

Begin by preparing roasted garlic. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Separate head of garlic into individual cloves. Rub off any papery skin but do not completely peel the cloves. Trim the end off the stem end of each clove.
10 cloves garlic
Put the cloves in the center of a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and gather up into a pouch. Roast directly on the oven rack until soft and lightly browned, about an hour. Open the pouch and let cool until the are cold enough to handle. Then squeeze each clove gently at the untrimmed end. Store refrigerated until ready to use.
When ready to make whipped feta dip place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until completely smooth and air has been whipped in.
4 ounces feta cheese, 4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup plain greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 2 tablespoons fresh chives, 2 tablespoons fresh basil, ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Spoon into serving dish and top with a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with any reserved roasted garlic cloves and fresh herbs, if desired.
Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve, up to 3 days. Serve with vegetables, pita chips, beet crisps or toasted baguette.
