Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 -3 splashes of Tabasco
Instructions
- Prep the scallionsTake a minute here. Wash and dry the scallions well, then peel away any papery or browned outer layers from the whites. Trim off anything tired-looking on the greens. A clean start makes a difference.
- ChopCut the scallions into roughly ¼-inch pieces, using the whole thing — whites included. Add them to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until they’re broken down and fragrant.
- Mix and finishAdd the softened cream cheese and garlic powder to the processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides and blade so everything comes together evenly. Don’t rush it — let the texture get just right.
