Three Cheese Pepperoncini Spread image

This is a super easy appetizer to prepare the next time you're hosting company. Pepperoncinis are a milder pepper and add a slight bite to the dip, but do not make it spicy. Feta and gorgonzola cheese complement each other wonderfully and add to the punch of flavor. This dip is very rich, thick, and creamy. Fantastic on a slice...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz Greek cream cheese (cream cheese and Greek yogurt), if available or regular cream cheese - softened
4 oz crumbled Feta cheese
2 oz crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese
1/2 c pepperoncini peppers, seeded, stemmed and coarsely chopped (feel free to add more if you like)
1 Tbsp juice from peppers
1 clove garlic
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Make sure cream cheese is softened.
  • 2. Place all ingredients in a food processor.
  • 3. Pulse to combine. It's better to have this a little chunky instead of a smooth puree.
  • 4. This can be eaten immediately but it will be better if allowed to sit for a while or refrigerated overnight. Serve with pita crisps, crackers or any sturdy bread or toast.
