Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 1½ teaspoons Parsley
- 1½ teaspoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dill
Instructions
- In a mixer, blender or food processor, whip cream cheese until smooth.
- Add garlic and herbs, and whip for another minute until complete.
Notes
- Herb Mixture – Substitute with dried herbs if you prefer.
- To do so, use the ratio of 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon of dried. Dried herbs are often more potent than fresh.
- Mix By Hand – If you don’t have access to a mixer or food processor, use a tub of whipped cream cheese. Because it’s softer and has more air already, it will be significantly easier to mix in the garlic and herbs.
