Ingredient info:
Thyme is a perennial herb that is a member of the mint family. Its tiny leaves have a spicy-lemony aroma. Popular in Mediterranean and French cuisines, thyme is one of the integral herbs in a classic "bouquet garni."

Feta cheese is the classic Greek cheese made from sheep's or goat's milk. Cured and stored in brine, feta has a tangy, salty flavor. Most American feta is made from cow's milk. Crumble it over salads and pasta dishes.

Healthy hint:
To reduce the fat in each serving of this cheese spread by about 2 grams, use light cream cheese. Serving the cheese with low fat crackers also cuts back on the fat.
