Ingredients

1 pound cream cheese
8 ounces whipped butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
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.
