Chive Cream Cheese

I am a sucker for a good bagel. A crispy, toasted, chewy bagel. Preferably sesame. Very occasionally, homemade.

Chive Cream Cheese

The only way to improve on this, (in my opinion) is to slather it in this Chive Cream Cheese. I am typically obsessed with scallion cream cheese- but my herb garden is in the middle of a chive takeover. So guess what folks? It’s gonna be chive city this week. Luckily, I love the delicate onion flavor of these little guys. And the blossoms are even more special, as they taste lovely and have beautiful little lavender blossoms.

Chive Cream Cheese

If you don’t have the blossoms, no worries, just chop up some fresh chives.

Chive Cream Cheese

Add them to the soft cream cheese.

I used a hand mixer to blend them together, but you could just get zealous with a fork too.
