Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (1 block, softened)
  • 2 tablepoons garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon chives (fresh)
  • ½ teaspoon dill (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon parsley (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon basil (fresh)
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary (fresh)
  • ½ teaspoon thyme (fresh)

Instructions
 

  • Mince the herbs and add them to the softened cream cheese.
  • Mix well, whipping if desired.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Transfer to a piping bag or squeeze bottle for more elegant and precise serving, especially for appetizers or garnishing.
  • You can use dried herbs, though you'll want to use about ⅓ the amount compared to fresh.
  • Works equally well with low-fat or whipped cream cheese varieties.
  • If mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or sour cream to achieve desired spreadability.
