Best Scallion And Dill Cream Cheese Recipes
SCALLION CREAM CHEESE, BAGEL SHOP STYLE
This recipe for a loftier version of cream cheese is also a formula for any number of dips and spreads. Instead of scallions, you might add horseradish, sriracha, toasted walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, maple syrup or honey. When shopping for cream cheese, choose one with the shortest list of ingredients; anything besides cream, milk, and salt is a filler or a preservative. But even if you start with less-than-perfect cream cheese from the supermarket, whipping it in a stand mixer and adding heavy cream to loosen the mixture will produce a smooth, fluffy spread. Sour cream would work just as well as heavy cream. It's best to make this just before serving - at Baz Bagel & Restaurant in Little Italy, they make it three times a day to preserve the fresh taste - but it also lasts well in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix at low speed until smooth. Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and raise the speed to medium-low. Mix until whipped and fluffy, adding more cream if needed to loosen the mixture.
- At low speed, fold in scallions just until combined. Scrape into a serving bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead.)

SCALLION CREAM CHEESE CORN ON THE COB
Steps:
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Reserve 2 or 3 of the scallions for serving.
- Drizzle the corn and remaining scallions with the olive oil, season with a big pinch of salt and 5 to 6 turns of pepper and toss around so everything is coated. Place the scallions directly on the grill grates and cook, turning a few times, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Grill the corn, turning every couple of minutes, until nice and charred, 10 to 12 minutes depending on the grill (just keep cooking until they are the level of charred you prefer; be careful, they will pop). Remove from the grill and keep warm.
- Thinly slice the reserved scallions and set aside.
- Combine the cream cheese, sour cream and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
- When the grilled scallions are cool enough to handle, chop them finely and add them to the cream cheese mixture with the everything bagel seasoning. Stir to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. (You will probably need to add salt if your everything seasoning does not have salt.)
- Schmear the cream cheese mixture on the corn and serve topped with the sliced fresh scallions and additional everything seasoning.
- Alternatively, this can be made into a dip: cut the corn off the cob, mix with the cream cheese mixture and fresh scallions, pour into a baking dish, top with any good melting cheese and bake until bubbly. Serve with pretzels or chips.

SCALLION CREAM CHEESE
I used to buy the little 2 ounce cups of this from the bagel place I go to on my way to work. Now, I make it myself and bring my own bagels from home, to save money, and it saves a stop on the commute...gets me in the office earlier and OUT earlier! This stuff keeps well in the fridge for days but I just store mine in the fridge at work. I mark it, in magic marker "JUDY" and everyone know to leave it alone or incur the wrath of the queen.
