Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups (approximately)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried Mediterranean oregano, crumbled
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olive
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomato
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

Mix feta, cream cheese and oil with a mixer on medium speed until well-blended. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Shape into a 10-inch-long log (mixture will be soft).
Combine walnuts and parsley and roll cheese log in this mixture, pressing slightly to get the walnuts and parsley to stick to the sides of the log.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours before serving to allow flavours to blend.
Remove plastic wrap and lay log on an attractive serving platter lined with parsley. Serve with assorted crackers and toasted baguette slices.
