Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Blue cheese
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 6 whole Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to blend.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop them into small pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and blue cheese. Mash them together using a fork or a hand mixer until smooth and combined.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is creamy.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
