Steps:
- Blend or process all ingredients until smooth.
- Store covered in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight before using to allow flavours to develop.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese for the best results. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients. This will make it easier to blend and will result in a smoother spread.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing can make the spread dense and crumbly.
- Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Herbed cream cheese appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or party food. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal events. With so many different herb combinations to choose from, you can easily tailor the spread to your own taste.
