I LOVE OLIVES AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD



I Love Olives and Cream Cheese Spread image

What's not to love? This is an easy make-ahead appetizer that takes 15 minutes to prepare and is so yummy it will be gone 15 minutes after you set it on the table. Pitted black olives and pimiento-stuffed Spanish/Manzanilla olives make it look as colorful as it is delicious. Serve it with crackers or crispinis. I also use it as a sandwich spread...it really spruces up a plain old cold-cut or deli sandwich.

CREAM CHEESE AND OLIVE EVERYTHING



Cream Cheese and Olive Everything image

Cream cheese and olive is a classic everything. I always have this mixed up in the refrigerator. We use it in the morning on English muffins or bagels. We use it on crackers--just for a snack. My mom made it in a sandwich to put in my lunch box for school. My husband likes me to put some sour cream with it and make it into a dip. The number of olives that you put in depends on your taste. This is so simple and good.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (room temperature)
20 -25 stuffed green olives (cut up)
2 tablespoons olive juice
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • If my cream cheese is not at room temperature (as it usually is not), I put it in a bowl and microwave it just a little to soften it--don't cook it.
  • On a bread board, cut the olives up; if you want more or less, use what you like (I like a lot of olives).
  • Put in the olive juice and milk and mix well.
  • If you want it for a dip, add the sour cream--adding more if you want.
  • Keep refrigerated.
