Love this recipe...I made up the combiatio of parmesa ad the herbs and doubled it. Then I Gave them a spin in my coffee grinder...sealed it all in a freezer bag. I now have penty of the mixture to add to a blend of cream cheese and butter. Mix, frig over night and voula, I'm in heaven. I also have spread it under the skin of chicken to roast. A very yummy dish!

The butter in this recipe…does it actually call for two sticks of butter (8 oz.) or does the recipe mean 8 TBSP. instead of 8 oz.?

Basil and chives, fresh or dried? I'd like to know before starting the recipe. Looks good and I don't want it to fail because of using incorrect ingredients. Thanks. Susan

made half of the recipe yesterday and it was a winner. Even my 4 year old granddaughter loved eating it with her bread. I added a left over greek cheese and it was still great tasting. Will make this regularly from now on.
