As if cream cheese weren't good enough on its own, this recipe takes it to another level entirely.

Ingredients
8          oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1           tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
1           tsp. finely chopped fresh chives
1           tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill
2          tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil
2          tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1           tsp. minced fresh garlic
Salt to taste
Half-and-half or cream, if desired, to thin to desired consistency

Preparation
Using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, whip cream cheese until fluffy, about 1 minute. Whip in herbs, garlic and salt. Add ½ and ½ or cream if desired to make thinner.
