My Chive herbs are growing happily in our yard and I’ve been thinking about using them in a cream cheese dip/spread after I had some chive and onion cream cheese in Panera Bread. So last week I used some of my chives and made this simple cream cheese recipe. I know you can get herbs anywhere but there is something about planting herbs in your own yard and using it in your cooking/recipes.
Ingredients (www.food.com)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (more or less to taste)
- 4 tablespoons red onions, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced (more to taste)
Directions:
-
In a medium bowl with a hand mixer cream together cream cheese, feta cheese and onion powder until well mixed
-
Beat in red onion and chives until mixed.
-
Good served immediately but will develop more flavor upon sitting. Serve as dip/spread. Enjoy!
