FETA-PINE NUT SPREAD
"Einstein Bros. Bagels in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, sells a feta-pine nut spread that I would like to make," says Clarissa Gaasch of Andover, Minnesota. "I'm thinking it would be as good on crackers as it is on bagels."
1 (8-ounce) tub whipped cream cheese spread
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons (packed) chopped fresh basil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (7-ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
Place cream cheese, yogurt, pine nuts, basil and garlic in processor. Blend, using on/off turns, until combined. Add feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes and blend, using on/off turns, until combined but still chunky. Transfer spread to bowl. (Feta-pine nut spread can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Makes about 2 cups.
