Quick & Easy. A delicious whipped cheese appetizer or snack that's full of flavor and a total crowd-pleaser.
Equipment
- Garlic Press
- Hand Mixer/Beater
Ingredients
- 1 block of cream cheese must be room temp
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 fresh cloves garlic, skin removed
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig, finely chopped
- 5 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 10 sun-dried tomato, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 quick shake of red crushed pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until creamed.
- Add milk and beat until incorporated and cheese has a whipped appearance/texture.
- If your cream cheese does not soften up and does not look whipped, add another splash of milk and beat again until it does.
- One at a time, place each clove of garlic into the garlic press and squeeze it directly into the bowl of whipped cheese.
- Add the finely chopped rosemary, sage, sun-dried tomato, black pepper, red crushed pepper, and salt to the cheese mix. Beat until combined.
- Transfer whipped cheese mix to a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hrs so all the flavors can come together. Overnight is even better.
- 30 minutes prior to serving, remove the whipped cheese from the refrigerator allowing it to get to room temp.
- Serve with your favorite bagel, crackers, garlic toast, or breadsticks.
