Ingredients for Herbed Sun-dried Tomato Whipped Cheese:
This is everything you will need to make this. Cream cheese, milk, garlic, rosemary, sage, sun-dried tomato, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Can I Omit the Pepper?
YES! If spice is not your cup of tea, the recipe will still work without the pepper.
Can I Use Jarred Garlic?
No. This recipe works best with fresh garlic cloves. Jarred garlic will add an unpleasant flavor profile.
Can I Use Dried Herbs?
No. This recipe works best with fresh rosemary and fresh sage. The flavor profile will not develop with dried herbs.
What Kind of Sun-dried Tomatoes Work Best?
Any kind! You can purchase them fresh with no oil or seasonings or you can purchase them packaged in a glass jar with the oil and seasonings. When using the ones in the glass jar, don’t pat them dry. Use them as is, as it will just add more flavor to your whipped cheese.
What do I serve this with?
My favorite way to enjoy this is on garlic toast or on a toasted warm sun-dried tomato bagel. But this whipped cheese will also work perfectly with your favorite crackers and or breadsticks.
