Ingredient Notes –
- Garlic is what gives this dip flavor! Make sure to keep the skin and root intact so the garlic head roasts evenly.
- Olive oil helps the garlic roast and adds richness and saltiness to the dip.
- Feta adds delicious saltiness and whips into a smooth and creamy dip.
- Cream cheese adds creaminess and helps make this more of a dip than a classic whipped feta.
- Fresh lemon juice adds acidity and freshness to the dip. It helps brighten up the feta and garlic flavors so the dip isn’t too rich.
- I love thyme and parsley with garlic and feta but a small pinch of fresh rosemary or oregano would also be delicious– just make sure not to add too much (about ½ teaspoon should be plenty).

- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
