1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
4 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, divided |
Directions:
1. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor and blend until very smooth.
2. Add the cream cheese and blend briefly to combine.
3. Transfer to a medium bowl.
4. Mix in the chives, parmesan cheese, garlic, marjoram, basil, pepper and 3 tablespoons of the parsley.
5. Place in a small decorative bowl and sprinle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley.
