Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the cream cheese and butter from the refrigerator, and allow them to soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or use a garlic press to create a paste-like consistency.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh parsley, dill, and chives, ensuring no large pieces remain.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and minced garlic. Mix well using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk until smooth and airy.
Step 5
Add the chopped parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or airtight container. It can be served immediately, but letting it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes enhances the flavors.
Step 8
Serve generously spread on fresh bagels, toast, or crackers. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
