cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Clean mussels under cold water and remove beards.

Steam mussels in a pot with white wine until they open, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove mussels from shells and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

Add the mussels to the bowl and mix well to coat.

In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese and cream until smooth.

Stir in the mussel mixture into the cream mixture until well combined.

Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and smooth the top.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.

Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
