Sun-dried Tomato Cream Cheese

8 ounces softened cream cheese (block style)

¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil (about 2 ounces)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

Pinch red pepper flakes

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)

Salt (to taste)

Stir together cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
For whipped cream cheese, use a handheld mixer and blend on medium speed until fluffy.
For smooth cream cheese, use a food processor and blend until smooth.
Chill for at least an hour. This gives the dried herbs time to soften.
Drizzle extra sun-dried tomato oil over the cream cheese (optional) before serving.
