Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic use less if you don't like a lot of garlic
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 6 ounces fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons nutmeg
  • chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  • In a saucepan on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and saute for around 1 minute.
