Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 package (8 ounces) light (Neufchatel) cream cheese

  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat oil, garlic, and nutmeg in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle and turn golden.
