Almond Feta

Ingredients
2 cups whole almonds
1/2 cup lemon juice
6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
2 1/2 tsp fine salt (I recommend Real Salt.)
Up to 6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
dried or fresh parsley, or other herb to taste

Directions:

1. Soak almonds overnight or up to 24 hours. Drain and rinse.
2. In a high-powered blender (like the vitamix), blend the almonds, lemon juice, 6 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, and salt until very smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor, processing as long as is necessary.
3. Preheat oven to 200F. Line baking pan with parchment paper. Spoon the cheese onto the parchment and shape into a disk approximately 3/4-inch thick.
4. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the top is stiff and dry. Cool and chill if you would like to serve it cold, or for a warm cheese dish, immediately top with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with herbs.
