  This wasn't very creamy at all, more dry and cloying. Not sure where we went wrong. On the bright side, it was quick.

  Really quick and easy to make, great if you vary the flavours of the cheese. And to stop it being dry add about 50% more cheese than the recipe :)

  Quick and easy. Unfortunately thought it was a bit bland. I added mushrooms to mine, and some creme fraiche just to make it a bit more creamier and have more taste.

  I've had this bookmarked for yonks, and I'm afraid I'd have to agree with the other reviews. Dry and bland. Maybe if you doubled the amount of cream cheese, and perhaps added other cheeses in with it (like a grated hard cheese). There's definitely potential to make this yummy, but for me, it didn't work as is.

  Tip: this is bland as it is, but use a certain brands sundried tomato and basil soft cheese and it becomes a much nicer proposition. creme fraiche also does the trick!
