Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Fresh chives
- 2 tbsp Sour cream
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. If the cream cheese is too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.
Finely chop the fresh chives and add them to the bowl with the cream cheese.
Add the sour cream, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a spatula, blend all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the chives spread to a serving dish or airtight container.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately.
Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable slices. Enjoy!
