Herbal Spread

 This is so delicious. Think of it as a base for all your herbal dip imagination. I fresh picked the herbs from the garden. I had it on olive crackers from Trader Joe’s and an everything bagel. 

I made 1/4 this recipe and mixed it by hand. 

8 ounces plain cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup fresh goat cheese, at room temperature

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino cheese

1 garlic clove, finely minced

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh basil

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

IN THE BOWL OF a stand mixer fitted with the paddle

attachment, combine the cream cheese,

goat cheese, and sour cream. Beat on

medium-high speed until the mixture is fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the pecorino and garlic and beat for 1 minute, just to combine. Add the dill, mint, basil, chives, and pepper and beat to combine.
