Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Cream cheese
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf/package Baguette or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, then wrap the foil to create a sealed pouch.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until softened and slightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.
While the garlic cools, finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and dill.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Once the garlic has cooled, mash it into a smooth paste using a fork or the side of a knife, then add it to the cream cheese mixture.
Use a spatula to thoroughly combine all ingredients until the cream cheese is smooth and the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed.
Transfer the Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately with slices of baguette or crackers, or refrigerate until ready to use.
