1. 1

   Prepare the Scallion Cream Cheese

   • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened by leaving it at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. This is key for a smooth, lump-free spread.
   • Wash and finely chop the scallions, using both the white and green parts for a balanced flavor.
   • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped scallions, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
