Sun-dried Tomato Cream Cheese

This recipe is so simple it's ridiculous. But it was delicious and I figured I'd share it anyway because I enjoyed it so much.


Sun-dried Tomato Cream Cheese

Ingredients
  • regular or low fat cream cheese
  • sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
Directions
  1. For every ounce of cream cheese, use 1 sun-dried tomato. Place the tomatoes on a paper towel and blot off most of the oil. Give the cheese and tomatoes and buzz in the Magic Bullet (or food processor). Refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:
  • Imagine the possibilities. You could really add anything to your cream cheese. How about some chives or roasted red peppers? Feta and spinach like I used to order at a popular bagel place. Yum yum!
  • I spread mine on a toasted whole wheat English muffin but you could use it on a bagel or as a spread for your sandwich.
  • How about using this as a cheese ball at your next party?
