Tips:

- When choosing herbs for your cheese spread, consider the flavors that will complement the type of cheese you are using. For example, basil and oregano are classic Italian herbs that pair well with mozzarella or Parmesan, while chives and dill are great choices for a creamy spread made with goat cheese or cream cheese. - Be sure to wash and dry your herbs thoroughly before chopping them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris and prevent the spread from becoming watery. - If you are using fresh herbs, chop them finely so that they will evenly distribute throughout the spread. If you are using dried herbs, you can use a slightly larger chop. - When mixing the ingredients for your cheese spread, be sure to do so gently to avoid overworking the cheese. Overworking the cheese can make it tough and rubbery. - Serve your cheese spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. If you are storing the spread for later, be sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out.

Herb garden cheese spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
