Add Savory Garlic Cream Cheese To Dress Up Your Next Sandwich
BY AUTUMN SWIERS
For an impressive sandwich spread, mash garlic into a tub of plain cream cheese. This mouth-watering spread will add the right amount of moisture and umami to your sandwich.
Grab a container of store-bought cream cheese and use a fork to stir in minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper. You can even store the spread in the container.
This method saves you money from making your own spread at home, and feel free to customize it with seasonings and herbs; dill would make a great addition.
You should use fresh, pre-chopped garlic pieces to bring more acidity to the mixture. Also, this tip works best with cold sandwiches since it won't melt and become runny.
A smear of garlic cream cheese will instantly elevate any fresh vegetable sub or make a delicious, savory finishing touch for a grilled cheese sandwich.
