A delightful spread combining the tangy flavor of sun-dried tomatoes with creamy cheese and aromatic herbs.
Place the softened cream cheese into the blender.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
Add the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes and the fresh garlic clove to the blender.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well to avoid excess oil in the dip.
Sprinkle in the fresh basil and ground black pepper.
Adjust the amount of black pepper to your taste preference.
Blend the mixture until it is combined but still has small pieces of sun-dried tomatoes for texture.
Pulse the blender to control the texture and avoid over-processing.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprig of fresh basil.
For a decorative touch, drizzle a little olive oil on top before serving.
Serve with your choice of dippers such as vegetable sticks, crackers, or bread.
Offer a variety of dippers to cater to different preferences.
