Adapted from Barefoot Contessa Sun Dried Tomato Dip
16 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup mayo
20 chopped oil and herb-packed sun dried tomato halves, drained and blotted a bit on paper towels (more or less according to taste)
A few dashes hot pepper sauce (optional, but it perks up the flavor without adding any heat)
2 scallions, sliced thinly
Whiz cream cheese and mayo in food processor until smooth. Add chopped tomatoes and hot sauce and process until blended and the tomatoes are integrated. Feel free to adjust the amount of tomatoes to your taste. Add scallions and pulse a few times till they are finely chopped and blended. Chill to blend flavors.
Serve with crackers or bagel chips, baguette slices, etc. This is also great as a sandwich or bagel spread or as a topping for burgers.
