For a brighter flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or dill) for the dried herbs. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. For a milder flavor, use only one clove or roast the garlic before mincing. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, Asiago or Pecorino Romano can be used as a substitute. To soften cream cheese and butter quickly, cut them into small cubes and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
