Cooking Instructions
Step 1
[Strawberry Spread] In a small saucepan, combine the fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and form a jam-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes). Let the strawberry compote cool completely. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the cooled strawberry compote and mix until well incorporated. This creates a vibrant and fruity spread. 
Step 2
[Garlic Spread] Finely mince the garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently until it turns a light golden brown and becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Drain any excess butter. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the sautéed garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well blended for a savory, garlicky delight. 
Step 3
[Walnut Cinnamon Spread] Finely chop the walnuts. For an extra nutty flavor, you can lightly toast them in a dry pan before chopping. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped walnuts, honey, and cinnamon powder. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed, creating a warm and comforting spread. 
Step 4
[Oreo Spread] Crush the Oreo cookies into small pieces using a zip-top bag and a rolling pin, or a food processor. Add the crushed Oreos to the softened cream cheese and mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese. This results in a fun, sweet, and indulgent spread that’s perfect for a treat. 
Step 5
[Basil Spread] In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the basil pesto. Stir well until the pesto is fully incorporated into the cream cheese, creating a smooth and fragrant spread with a hint of Italian herbs. This spread is quick to make and adds a sophisticated flavor to your bagel.
