Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes for easier mixing.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and dill and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, and dill, along with the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the Garlicky Herb Spread to a serving bowl. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve with crackers, fresh veggie sticks, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy!
