Herbed Cream Cheese



















This recipe was adapted from Emeril on foodnetwork.com. Well worth the extra effort!




















Ingredients:


  • 12 ounce Organic Valley cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped basil ( I love Osage Garden, a local CO grower; Vitamin Cottage)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped parsley
  • 3 finely minced garlic cloves
  • salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:

In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated. 

The cream cheese freezes well. I use Glad Mini Round containers which are the perfect size for 2 portions.

Great to stuff chicken, to serve on top of fish or pasta, and mixed with rice to stuff poblanos.
