Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup hot pepper jelly (red or green)
  • 1 sprig rosemary or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the softened cream cheese on a plate or platter.
  • Spread the pepper jelly alongside or over the top of the cream cheese.
  • If using, garish with a sprig of rosemary or parsley.
  • Serve with crackers.

Notes

  • Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit out in its original container for 30 minutes or do it in the microwave. If you are using the microwave, take it out of its original packaging, put it on a plate, and microwave it for 10 seconds.
  • You can add more hot pepper flakes to the jelly if you like your dip more spicy. Simply sprinkle the hot pepper flakes over the top of the jelly.
