As much as we love veggie cream cheese, we can’t help but play with the concept in a way that makes it easy to switch things up from time to time. Enter this recipe for our new favorite sandwich spread: Antipasto Cream Cheese! It’s packed with briny olives, sweet peppers, a little pickle brine and more for maximum flavor.
We love this easy recipe for turkey roll ups and veggie sandwiches, but it’s also great on its own (hello, the best every bagel and cream cheese lunch) and even adapted to make a creamy pasta sauce (thin it out with pasta cooking water).
