I Never Thought I Could Add Philly To...

Everyone loves spreading Philly on a bagel or mixing it into a top-notch cheesecake. But did you know that Philly adds body and creaminess to sauces, soups, sandwiches and more? Here, you'll see how your ordinary dishes suddenly become extraordinary.

Sauces

• Upgrade pasta sauces by adding a rich, silky texture with 1/2 cup of softened Philly Cream Cheese
• Creamier sauces coat the other ingredients in the dish so flavors will linger on the palate.
• In red sauces, it balances the acid and provides a sauce reminiscent of a vodka or a tomato rosa sauce.
• In white sauces, it produces a quick creamy rich sauce that complements the other flavors and ingredients in the dish.
• Quick Philly Sauces

Eggs and Omelets

• Adding some softened Philly instead of milk creates extraordinarily fluffy scrambled eggs, omelets and frittatas.
• Whisk Philly into eggs in place of milk for a wonderfully fluffy and flavorful weekend omelet or dinnertime frittata.
• Melt Philly onto scrambled eggs or fold into an omelet with bacon or veggies for a creamy luscious filling.

Potatoes and Casseroles

• In potatoes, Philly adds a velvety texture and a delicious tangy flavor.
• In casseroles, like a pot pie, it produces a smooth textured sauce that enrobes the tender vegetable filling.
• Add 1/2 cup of regular or flavored Philly to 3 cups of hot mashed potatoes for extra creaminess and rich flavor.
• Top baked russet or sweet potatoes with Philly for a delightful change of taste!

Soups

• Create a restaurant-inspired, rich dish by whisking a little Philly into canned soups, like tomato. Add a sprinkling of a fresh herb, like basil.

Sandwiches

• A schmear of Philly on hearty bread is a great place to start when building a sandwich. It adds a delicious creamy cheese layer that complements the other sandwich ingredients—especially the flavored Philly varieties!
• Try a smear of Philly on toasted marbled rye with thin slices of tomato, lettuce and a couple of strips of crisp bacon and see if you agree.

Enchiladas and Burritos

• Make your family favorites extra creamy; add a little Philly to your special fillings.

Fajitas

• When making fajitas, spread a small amount of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread instead of sour cream on flour tortillas.

In Spicier Dishes

• Philly can create a “cool-hot” sensation on the palate.
• In spicy Thai, Latin and Cajun dishes, Philly can lessen the “heat,” making the dish more palatable for spice-sensitive people.
