Name: Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese Spread
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened; 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves; 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves; 1 teaspoon lemon juice; 1 small garlic clove, minced; 1/4 teaspoon table salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Why This Recipe Works

For our flavorful and easy cream cheese spread, we simply added softened cream cheese, herbs, lemon juice, and garlic to a food processor and processed until smooth. In just 20 seconds, we had a fresh, flavor-packed spread.

Before You Begin

For the smoothest results, let the cream cheese come to room temperature before processing it. A garlic press or a rasp-style grater will make quick work of mincing the garlic.

Instructions

Process all ingredients in food processor until smooth, about 20 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Serve. (Cream cheese spread can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
