Ingredients
- 4 pieces Serrano peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the serrano peppers thoroughly. Slice them lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor, or leave them in for extra heat.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the serrano peppers and garlic cloves. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the peppers soften and the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the sautéed peppers and garlic, cream cheese, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or airtight container. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
