Momma Hearts Baby

Every family has a recipe or two that shows up at every gathering. This is ours. It’s a snap to put together, and the buttery, smooth feta on a crusty baguette is hard to resist.

We take it to book club, tailgates and neighborhood parties and it always disappears.

Here’s how we make it:

Beat the cream cheese, softened butter and feta cheese together until smooth.

Add the garlic and oregano and mix until well combined.

Mound in the center of a serving plate and shape into a ball.

Surround with sliced scallion, black olives and chopped tomatoes.

Serve with a sliced baguette.
