Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese crumbles
- 2 pieces Fresh jalapeños, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- 1 assorted platter Sliced vegetables, crackers, or bread (for serving)
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes for easier mixing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the blue cheese crumbles, finely diced jalapeños, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until evenly distributed.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and adjust based on your preference for seasoning.
Drizzle in the olive oil and give it one final stir to ensure a smooth and rich consistency.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of extra blue cheese, chopped rosemary, or a whole rosemary sprig for presentation.
Serve immediately with sliced vegetables, crackers, or bread. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to one day to allow the flavors to meld together even more before serving.
