Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Jezebel sauce
Instructions
- Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. This ensures smooth spreading and easy mixing.
- Using a spatula or electric mixer, gently spread the softened cream cheese onto a serving platter, creating a smooth, even layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Carefully pour the prepared Jezebel sauce over the cream cheese, ensuring an even distribution across the surface. The sauce should create a vibrant, glossy layer on top of the cream cheese.
- For optimal flavor and texture, let the dish sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with an assortment of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable crudités for dipping.
- Store any remaining appetizer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for best taste and spreadability.
