How to Make 3 Pepper Cheese Spread

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper, 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to chill. This step enhances the overall taste!
  4. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, vegetables, baguette slices, or use as a sandwich spread. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
