There's nothing better than homemade herb cream cheese! Packed with fresh herbs, it's an easy appetizer or spread for bagels.

Categories     Essentials

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped chives, or half chives and half fresh basil or dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream or 1/2 tablespoon milk, to soften (optional)

Steps:

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened. Leave it out at room temperature for 1 hour, or place it on a plate in the microwave, cook 5 seconds, flip over the block of cheese and cook another 5 seconds. (If it's not room temperature at this point, cook another few seconds, but air on the conservative side.)
  • Chop the herbs. Mix everything together in a bowl, adding a little Greek yogurt, milk or sour cream 1 tablespoon at a time if you'd like a fluffier, more spreadable texture (we used 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt).
  • Make whipped cream cheese by adding 1/2 tablespoon milk and whipping the cream cheese in a food processor or stand mixer. Then add the chopped herbs and pulse until combined.

LOW CARB HERBED CREAM CHEESE FOR A ROMANTIC BEDTIME PICNIC



Low Carb Herbed Cream Cheese for a Romantic Bedtime Picnic image

DH and I often watch old movies in bed and we have a snack platter to munch on. I like this herbed cream cheese on DH's hard-smoked salmon or crispy red apples. On the snack platter I include some of DH's favorites and low carbohydrate foods - salami, DH's hard-smoked salmon, cheeses, olives, grapes, rye krisps and pickles. For the cream cheese you can use dried herbs but let it sit all day to let the herbs re-hydrate.You can add anything you like to this recipe so make it your own. Now go make a plate of your favorites and pop in an old movie and enjoy your picnic.
