Mediterranean Cheese Spread Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SPREAD

This is the number one requested thing for me to make, which is great because it is sooo easy! This is the best if you spread it on thick bread such as French or farmers bread. Also good with crackers.

SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE SPREAD OR DIP

This is my own creation inspired by, if not entirely true to, the cuisines of the Southern Mediterranean which I love. Use it as a dip, spread it on any type of toasted bread. I've used it on grilled steak to good advantage. You'll get 16 servings of 1 Tbsp each.

MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE SPREAD (WW)

Sun-dried tomatoes are a favorite of ours, so this dip was a must. You can buy herb-flavored goat cheese and experiment with different flavors. NOTE: Gently fold the olives and tomatoes into the cheese mixture; over-mixing may turn the spread an unappetizing purplish pink color. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes" and = 1 point. Served on 1 melba toast round = 2 points.
