Herb Cheese Spread

Recipe By: Barb Schaller, posted to r.f.cooking 12-22-2007; based on a
post to r.f.r. in 1998 by M. Lowe.

2 cloves garlic minced
16 ounces reduced fat cream cheese
1/2 cup butter (not margarine) softened
1 teaspoon oregano dried
1/4 teaspoon basil dried
1 teaspoon dillweed dried
1/4 teaspoon marjoram dried
1/4 teaspoon thyme dried
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

(Or use a couple teaspoons of Penzeys Bouquet Garni blend for the
individual herb components.)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together. Use a mixer, not a food processor.

Serve with crackers or toss with hot pasta for a quick dish.
