HERB CHEESE SPREAD
2 pkg (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 T Freeze-Dried Chives
2 T Parsley flakes
1 t Garlic Pepper
1/2 t dill weed
1/4 t Thyme leaves
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1. With an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until
fluffy. Add remaining ingredients except red bell pepper; beat well.
2. Place a piece of plastic wrap on a small cookie sheet. Spoon cheese
mixture onto plastic wrap to form a log about 3 inches thick and 12
inches long. Fold up plastic wrap over cheese to encase. Refrigerate
until cheese is firm, about four hours or overnight.
3. Unwrap cheese log. Bend top 1/3 of cheese log over to form a candy
cane shape. Place on a serving plate. Smooth entire shape with fingers
or knife. Decorate with bell pepper to form the stripes. May be
covered and refrigerated overnight.
