Equipment

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup hot pepper jelly
1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Rosemary or thyme sprigs for decoration/garnish
Crackers for serving

Instructions

Place the block of cream cheese on a serving platter with a rim to catch the jelly.
Pour the pepper jelly over the top.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Garnish the plate and serve with crackers or bread slices.

Notes

Make sure brick of cream cheese is room temperature for best results.
Use green pepper jelly or your own red pepper jelly.
If the jelly is too thick, microwave it in 10 second intervals until smooth enough to pour.
If serving on a platter you can place the cream cheese in a dish with a rim to keep it from running on the crackers.
Favorite crackers to use are Ritz and Triscuits.
