This is quick and easy to make and oh, so delicious! Be prepared, it disappears quickly. I had to make a second batch just to get pictures!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese or neufchatel, room temperature
3 oz (about half a jar) gr olives, drained - save juice - rough chopped
2-3 oz (2-3 tbsp) saved olive juice, more or less to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Whip the cream cheese, with electric mixer, until smooth.
  • 2. Add the olive juice a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the cream cheese smooth, easy to spread, but not runny, so you may not use all of the reserved juice.
  • 3. Stir in olives. If you can, allow to stand for 15-20 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve with crackers (I like triskets)
