The ingredients for olive feta dip are:

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 block (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 6 oz. can green olives (or about 2 cups of olives), sliced
1 teaspoon capers (optional, I like the saltiness they add)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Here is how you make olive feta dip:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.In a large saucepan or skillet (even a dutch oven would work), heat olive oil over medium heat. Once warmed, add your onions and cook until softened (about 3 minutes). At this point, add your garlic, stirring to make sure it doesn't brown and turn bitter. Cook for another 30 seconds or so.Now, put your softened cream cheese into the pan. Using whatever utensil you're stirring with, break it up into chunks so it melts faster. Once it melts down to a stirrable form, add your heavy cream and stir to combine everything well.Next, you're going to add your olives,and capers. Stir until everything is coated and well incorporated.Finally, take a pie dish or 8x8 baking dish, and transfer your cream cheese mixture to it. Sprinkle the top with your feta cheese.Pop into the oven and bake 30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve with your dipping vessel of choice.
