Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix the 8 oz cream cheese, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tbsp of the chopped fresh herbs until well combined.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the cheese mixture into a log about 6 inches long. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes to firm up.

  3. Step 3

    On a plate, combine the remaining fresh herbs, 1 tsp crushed black peppercorns, and 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes.

  4. Step 4

    Roll the chilled cheese log in the herb mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly. Garnish with the 1 rosemary sprig.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately with crackers or bread, or refrigerate until ready to use.
