Everything Chili Crisp & Spicy Giardiniera Cream Cheese
Recipe: Natallia Nice
Two takes on the same easy idea: light, airy cream cheese and a bold seasoning. The Spicy Giardiniera version leans Chicago, briny and garlicky and loaded with pepper for a tangy, herby spread with just enough heat. The Everything Chili Crisp version goes savory and toasty, with sesame, garlic, and onion up front and a slow chili warmth on the back end. Spread either one on a bagel or scoop it with crackers.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 Tbsp Everything Chili Crisp or Spicy Giardiniera seasoning
Method
- Whip the cream cheese with a hand mixer until light.
- Fold in your seasoning of choice until evenly combined. Taste, add more for extra punch, then serve with bagels or bagel chips.
