- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 12 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (only 6 tablespoons are required; up to 6 additional tablespoons can be used for drizzling)

Instructions
- Soak almonds overnight or up to 24 hours. Drain and rinse.
- In a high-powered blender (like the Vitamix), blend the almonds, lemon juice, 6 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, and salt until very smooth. You might wish to add the salt gradually to adjust to taste. Alternatively, you can use a food processor, processing as long as is necessary.
- Preheat oven to 200F. Line baking pan with parchment paper. Spoon the cheese onto the parchment and shape into a disk approximately ¾-inch thick.
- 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.
Notes
- For a creamier cheese, and if not using blanched almonds, peel the almonds before making the feta.
