Ingredients

1 pound cream cheese
8 ounces whipped butter, at room temperature

1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Preparation

  1. Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a food processor. With the machine running, add the seasonings, and process until smoothly blended.
