fast & fabulous feta spread
One of our family’s favorite appetizers is cheese and crackers topped with jalapeño jelly. By mixing feta with our traditional cream cheese serving, we had the perfect pairing for our local jalapeño jelly.
Cream cheese and feta are the perfect balance of creamy and salty to pair with sweet jalapeño jelly. After mixing the two for our annual Christmas cheese spread this past year, I’m pretty sure that we won’t be going back to just serving plain cream cheese with our jalapeño jelly any time soon. This spread is quick to throw together so that you can focus on spending more time with friends and family. With the Super Bowl on the horizon, this would be a perfect dip to serve while watching the big game.

This looks so yummy! I’ve been craving feta cheese for a while now ever since dinner at a local Greek restaurant. Thanks for sharing Kimberly Ann! I saw your blog in the Foodie Super Bowl edition :)
Thanks for coming by! I’ve also found this week that the spread is delicious on toasted ham sandwiches. :)
