Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon (packed) fresh thyme leaves
1/2 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 7 1/2-ounce package farmer cheese or one 8-ounce package cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until garlic is finely chopped, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add cheese and sour cream; blend well. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to serving bowl; chill 30 minutes. (Dip can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh thyme. Fresh thyme has a more intense flavor than dried thyme, so it's the best choice for this dip.
  • Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can quickly burn, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Otherwise, it will taste bitter.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dip. Use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Season the dip to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, if you like.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it up before serving. You can heat it up in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove.

Conclusion:

Thyme Garlic Cheese Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up fresh thyme. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
