In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired, adding more garlic, herbs, salt, or pepper to your liking.
Transfer the cream cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended for best results.
