My idea of the perfect weekend nosh stems from a childhood memory. My family always went out to Sunday brunch after mass. I distinctly remember frequenting a restaurant with my mom and sisters when my dad skipped to play golf — for our girls bunch we were served pre-meal croissants with this AMAZING strawberry spread!

Ever since my first bite, I’ve perfected a Hollyized version to enjoy this delight in pajamas and coffee on Saturday mornings! It’s so simple and would be the perfect addition to any brunch or to serve as a nosh when entertaining weekend guests. Clean up is simple too! Just start with a trip to your favorite bakery or local grocery store to pick up freshly made croissants! 🙂

Need:
3 tablespoons plain cream cheese
1 tablespoon strawberry cream cheese
1 tablespoon strawberry jam (I prefer to use the kind that has actual fruit pieces in it for the flavor and texture)
1 teaspoon butter

Hollyized Steps:

Use your measuring spoons to add the plain and strawberry cream cheeses, butter and jam into a small bowl.

Use a spoon or fork to mix all the ingredients. You do not want to completely blend but keep a little chunky for texture and flavor pockets.

Put your new mixture in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes to let it sit. Serve your spread to guests in small ramekins next to your freshly made croissants. Simply spread and then… BITE! Savor this simple pleasure and throw back to your own childhood delights! 🙂
