Have a block of cream cheese to use up, but don’t feel like using it with bagels or making cheesecake/anything sweet.
Suggestions for something savory like a dip, or use in a casserole or something? TIA |

Cream cheese and a little pepper jelly on crackers
Cream cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning on pita chips Sonoma Loaf spread (cream cheese, crab, cocktail sauce layered) Or just plain cream cheese on pretzel thins |
| Spinach and artichoke dip is my favorite, but it’s a bit hot outside for it. How about using it to top a savory puff pastry tart? This time of year, zucchini or tomatoes would be good on top. |
| Not savory, but delicious: add brown sugar, vanilla and Heath bits. Dip for apple slices. |
| My grandparents would pour Worcestershire sauce over a block of softened cream cheese and serve it with crackers. It was a 70s thing, lol. Doesn't look all that great, but it is delicious. |
| There’s a delicious dip made with cream cheese, sausage, and Rotel tomatoes. Served with large corn chips or tortilla chips. I’ve had it at several parties where people pretty much licked the bowl. |
If we are doing 70’s things that look regrettable, but taste unforgettable, try mushing it up with a can of smoked oysters. |
| My friend combined a block of cream cheese with a jar of peach salsa, and people freaked out over how delicious it was. |
PP here. My grandparents did this with clams! My grandfather would get all excited about clam dip. |
|
Put it in a blender with a jar of salsa.
My mom used to make dip that was green onions, cream cheese, and a little bit of water to thin it out. |
Haha I came here to suggest clam dip! My midwestern family’s staple at every family event growing up. Eat it with Fritos. I’ll pass on all the 70s casseroles and jello molds, but give me clam dip! |

Homemade Boursin cheese is good.
Here is recipe. You can use any mix of herbs depending on your preference or what you have https://julieblanner.com/boursin-cheese-recipe/ |
| There is a buffalo chicken dip on the back of frank's hot sauce jar that we do occasionally. I think it is cream cheese, hot sauce, blue cheese dressing (or ranch if you prefer) shredded chicken (we just use rotisserie chicken), and shredded cheese. |
Ok I'm going to go buy cream cheese and a spicy peach salsa and do this right now. |
