Tuscan Tuesday Cheese Spread
This creamy, lightly spicy cheese spread was born for a casual Tuesday night, but it shows up beautifully on a weekend snack board too. Tuscan garlic, salsa and a splash of tomato-basil balsamic give it enough personality to make crackers, cucumber and carrot sticks feel like a meal.
Ingredients
Method
- Stir cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. Fold in cheddar, turkey or ham and salsa.
- Add Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic, Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil, Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar, red-pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes so the spread thickens and the flavors mingle.
- Serve chilled with crackers and crisp vegetables. Keep it rustic rather than blending it perfectly smooth.
Notes
Time: 15 min
Kitchen tip: Drain watery salsa before stirring it in. That one small step keeps the spread thick enough to sit proudly on a cracker.
