How to Make Athenian Cheese Spread
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and mix until well combined.
- Drain 5 ounces of fresh spinach thoroughly and chop finely. Add to the cheese mixture and stir gently.
- Line a medium bowl with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang to help with inverting later.
- Layer half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper to the center of the cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture, spreading evenly.
- Cover the bowl tightly with the plastic wrap, ensuring it's sealed well.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- To serve, carefully invert the bowl onto a serving plate. Peel off the plastic wrap.
- Garnish generously with 1/4 cup of chopped almonds.
- Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or pita chips.
