Herb & Garlic Spread

Ingredients:
1 8-oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
2 tsp. snipped fresh chives
1/4 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
1/4 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning
Assorted Crackers

Directions:
In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and butter
until mixed well. Beat in the garlic, herbs and seasoning
until mixed. Cover and chill about 30 minutes. The spread
can be divided and shaped into two balls and rolled in
minced parsley before serving, or placed in a dish on a
platter surrounded by crackers. Either way, it can be chilled
for 4-24 hours before using, then brought to room temperature.
