Ingredients
Cheese Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese (well softened)
- 1/4 cup salted butter (well softened)
Seasonings
- 3 to 5 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning (or chopped fresh parsley)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/8 tsp Tabasco or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese and butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add seasonings: Beat in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, cracked black pepper, and hot sauce thoroughly to distribute all flavors evenly throughout the cheese mixture.

Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but you can adjust the amount depending on your preference.
- For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese and butter are very soft at room temperature before mixing.

- Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, sliced baguette, or raw veggies.
- To customize, swap Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like chives or thyme.
