- 2 cups black olives, sliced
- 250 grams (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tbsp olive brine
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried onion
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Chop Olives: Place the sliced black olives in the food processor bowl and blitz for 5 seconds to roughly chop them, ensuring a chunky texture.

- Make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly.

- Garlic powder and dried onion provide depth of flavor but can be substituted with fresh minced versions if preferred.
- Customize spice level by adjusting black pepper quantity.
