This is one of my favorite garden herb appetizers for family gatherings. It’s great to make a day or two ahead of your gathering.
2 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
Fresh basil 12-15 leaves chopped
Fresh sundried tomatoes chopped (2 Roma)
1 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 juice of a lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Throw all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. This spread always tastes better after it has set for 24 hours. Keep the spread refrigerated until 1/2 hour before serving. This is great served with a crispy toast, or with crackers.
The red and green of the herbs and tomatoes make this dish very festive for this time of year.
