holiday herbed cheese spread
In addition the all the fixins I made for Thanksgiving dinner, I also put together a few snacks that our family could eat later on in the day like this simple, fresh tasting cheese spread. It was really easy to make & will definitely go in my ‘take to a party’ file for future gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8-oz.) package feta cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove, chopped finely
- crackers or mini toasts
Then put the rest of the ingredients in a bowl & blend with an electric mixer at a medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
I used one large ramekin (14oz I think) But you can use a couple smaller ones or any dish that would work as a simple mold. Then chill it over night.
I surrounded my spread with the extra fresh tarragon for a fancy look. Then just add your favorite crackers or toast. The lemon gives it a really clean & fresh taste making it seem far more sophisticated than what it really is.
And ta-dah…. all pretty for the party. Just grab a spreader & dive in.
