Cream Cheese Board
Chanukah parties and get togethers are around the corner, and I always look for ways to keep hosting simple and stress-free. Having a beautiful cream cheese board surrounded with crackers is a simple and impressive way to serve something delicious with relative ease. This board was inspired by a classic everything bagel with cream cheese and lox.
It’s the Old Williamsburg smashed olives that add a punch with their briny flavor– they truly take things up a notch. Pile up the dill because it adds flavor and the perfect pop of color.
Happy Chanukah.
