Did you know today is the National Bagel Day?? It appears to be so. What kind of bagels do you like? For me, the more "stuff," the better. Just today I had an everything bagel: love! I also really like the cheesy ones with jalapeno.
But bagels are sort of boring without cream cheese, right? And just like I'm not a fan of plain bagels, I don't typically like plain cream cheese. Remember the salmon cream cheese I blogged about? It got great reviews from some of you, and so I decided to share with you another concoction I came up with over the weekend:
Spicy Sun Dried Tomato Cream Cheese
Ingredients
1 package of cream cheese at room temperature
10 halves of sun dried tomatoes (I used the ones that come sealed in a pack and are ready to use: no need to soak them in hot water)
1 chile pepper in adobo
Directions
1. Add all ingredients into a food processor.
2. Puree.
3. That's all: you are done!
You can puree this cream cheese mixture until it's completely smooth, or you can leave a few specks of sun dried tomatoes.
And since today is a National Bagel Day, what's your favorite bagel?

I had no idea, this looks scrumptious!!
Looks like a great combination of flavors! Thanks for letting us know it is National Bagel Day. Maybe I'll have to celebrate with a cinnamon raisin bagel later today.
That sounds delicious. And now I wish I had a bagel! I love everything bagels too, and I especially love salt bagels.
this sounds so good:) thanks for sharing this. i cant wait to make some soon.
i'm a bagel-aholic (my fave is Everything) and this cream cheese just looks amazing! thanks for sharing!!
I had no idea today was national bagel day! Now... how do I get Giuliano to eat one? He doesn't understand boiled bread :)
Yum! I am so into dips and spreads as easy little lunch snacks! Thanks for this nice addition to the bag of tricks!
Yum! I bet that chipotle does some serious magic. I love cream cheese piled thickly on my bagels- when I treat myself to one!
I bet it would taste great with sweetened black tea! I'm going to have to try this! Thanks!
This cream cheese looks yummy. What a gorgeous color. I adore sun-dried tomatoes.
This cream cheese sounds just divine, and it is so easy to make! I also love everything bagels. I can see a craving for one coming along...
Wow, what an easy and nice spread...great photos as well :-)
Ah yes, you see that is the great thing about plain creamcheese. You can add so many delicious things to it! And this is a great idea Olga!
What an awesome and interesting combination of flavors - it looks wonderful!
Oooh spicy sun dried tomato cream cheese sounds absolutely delicious!! I don't eat bagels often but I when I do, I like either multi grain or cinnamon raisin :)
lovely, can't wait to try this!
Great idea. I love the taste of sun dried tomatoes with a cream base. I will definitely pick some up next trip to the mart.
