Preparation
- Step 1
In a food processor, layer the trout, 1½ packages cream cheese, basil and 3 tablespoons horseradish. Add white pepper and scallions or chives. Pulse several times until mixture is roughly blended. Add remaining half-package of cream cheese, and pulse again until mixture is smooth. Taste, and add additional horseradish if needed.
- Step 2
Transfer mixture to a wide serving bowl. Halve tomatoes lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut tomatoes into ½-inch dice and pat dry on paper towels. Fold tomatoes into trout spread. Serve with crackers or slices of cucumber, or refrigerate and use within three days.
- Grilled trout may be substituted, with the addition of finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon.

This was super easy & delicious! I used good smoked trout, 1 package regular and 1 package light cream cheese, dill instead of basil (basil sounded weird to me?), half chives/half scallions. No tomato. Really good with rye crackers and with bagel chips!
delicious recipe. to make it less stiff, substitute sour cream for one of the cream cheese bars. like others, dill is also an excellent herb to sub for the basil.
I substituted home smoked Marlin as Trout is not locally available where I live. I also used dill instead of basil and added a bit of chopped cilantro. I used fresh plain yogurt instead of light cream cheese. Wonderfully balanced and delicious dip
