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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until softened and slightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.

Step 4

While the garlic cools, finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and dill.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Use a spatula to thoroughly combine all ingredients until the cream cheese is smooth and the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed.

Step 8

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.
