Is there anything better than cream cheese?! I would normally say no but I found something better! This cream cheese garlic butter is perfection! It's so creamy and full of flavor and it tastes amazing on so many things. It's easy to pull together and I love to serve it instead of plain old butter when I have guests for dinner...plus then I have some left over for morning bagels or to spread on sandwiches. 🙂 Next time you serve some bread with dinner, whip this cream cheese garlic butter spread up and you'll never go back to plain butter again!

Here's what you need:

  • ½ stick of softened butter (¼ cup)
  • 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 1 large clove of garlic minced finely
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Here's the extent of the instructions:

Add everything to a bowl and mix together. DONE! I like to serve it at room temp so it's nice and fluffy. Just store it in the fridge when you're done 🙂 cream cheese, garlic butter, cream cheese garlic butter, sides, garlic, steak, bread, coco and ash,

    I've made this twice before and absolutely LOVE it! It is amazing on breakfast sandwiches! Making it again right now but this time to try as a dip for buffalo chicken instead of ranch or blue cheese dressing. I wish there was a way to keep this light and fluffy though instead of hard in the fridge.
