This quick and easy cheese and herb spread is a combination of creamy cheeses and fresh herbs that’s great on a baguette, topped with radishes slices, for a 5-minute appetizer that’s sure to impress!

This easy cheese and herb spread makes for such a simple, creamy, delicious appetizer! I love the mix of the cream and goat cheeses, the freshness and brightness from the herbs and the crunch of the sliced radishes.

My mom recreated this recipe after having something similar in a restaurant. We’ve both made it countless times since then.

It’s a sure-fire crowd pleaser!

It’s also really pretty, with the pops of green from the fresh herbs and the pretty sliced radishes.

It’s also great because you can make the spread ahead of time and store it in the fridge.

I even slice the radishes and keep them in a plastic bag or covered container, so I can pull everything out before guests arrive. Or you can pack it up for a picnic – we’ve done that, too.

Bottom line: it’s an impressive appetizer that looks fantastic but takes next to no work. 🙌

You can use any leftovers of the cheese and herb spread on a sandwich for lunch – it’ll turn boring turkey into something pretty spectacular.

Hope you enjoy this fast, tasty appetizer!

A fast, creamy spread with fresh herbs, topped with radishes!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese

• 6-8 radishes, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Combine cheese and herbs and stir well to combine. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste.
2. To prepare the baguette, slice the loaf diagonally and bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. You can also broil it for a couple of minutes but watch it VERY closely to prevent it from burning.
