Rondele Garlic & Herbs Cheese Spread is one of our favorites. It’s wonderful spread on crackers, celery, bread, cucumber slices and more. We even add it to deviled eggs! Unfortunately, it comes in fairly small containers, which don’t last long when you have a bigger family.
This recipe makes a generous twelve ounce tub of creamy garlic and herb cheese spread.
The trick to making this is to mix the seasonings in without over-whipping or over mixing the whipped cream cheese. This is one case where using dry herbs, rather than fresh. The subtle flavor closely matches the store-bought version, without affecting the moisture levels of the cream cheese base.
