Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

¼ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchinis and grating them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent a watery spread.

    Cook the Zucchini: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the grated zucchini and thyme to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and any released liquid has evaporated.

      Season it Up: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

        Blend the Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked zucchini mixture with the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan. Use a fork or a hand mixer to blend until the spread is creamy and well incorporated.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the spread a taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

            Serve: Transfer the zucchini butter spread to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if using. Enjoy with crusty bread, crackers, or as a savory filling in sandwiches.
