Discover the secret to homemade Herbed Cream Cheese. Creamy, flavourful, and perfect for bagels, sandwiches, and more.

Heat the milk in a saucepan, then season with sea salt. If the milk has become warm, add the butter, and mix until it melts and dissolves.
Add the cornstarch and whisk continuously until you see that it thickens, resulting in a creamy consistency.
Add the grated cheddar cheese and continue to mix with the whisk until it fully melts and is incorporated into the mixture. Turn off the heat
Add the finely chopped parsley, chives, and thyme over the cheese and mix to incorporate the herbs.
Pour the cream cheese into a glass leaf pan that I lined with plastic cling film. Put the container in the refrigerator for two hours.
Spread herbed cream cheese generously on toasted bagels or serve with crackers, sandwiches, or as a vegetable dip.

Cream cheese can be flavored in various ways like: garlic and herbs, chive and onion, smoked salmon, sundried tomato and basil, jalapeno and pepper.

If you use whole milk, you do not need to add butter to the milk.
