Flavoured Cream Cheese

Some simple ways to level up your bagels and toasts at home using a block of cream cheese and some milk.

I love making flavoured cream cheeses for my bagels and as a simple spread for my sandwiches or toasts at home. By simply adding a few ingredients and mixing it with some cream cheese and milk, you can create a whole bunch of quick savoury and sweet spreads that you can use throughout the week or for your next gathering, like my Bagel Buffet set up.

Below are 4 different flavoured cream cheese ideas you can whip up at home that I love making. No need for measurements because you can just use whatever you have on hand at home, mix it in a bowl and you’ve got a flavoured cream cheese in minutes.
