Equipment

  • Smoker or BBQ
  • Mini cast iron skillet or aluminum foil
  • Maple wood (Or your preferred smoking wood)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block (8 oz.) cream cheese, cold
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning or your favorite seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Set the smoker/BBQ to 220 degrees F.
    NOTE: BBQers use indirect cooking method.
  • Place the cream cheese, unpacked on a heat-proof pan. I like to use my mini cast iron.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brush to cover the block.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the cheese in a crisscross pattern (about ½ inch deep).
  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the cheese.
  • If the smoker/BBQ is not up to temperature, place the cheese back in the fridge until ready.
  • Once your smoker/BBQ is at temperature, place the cream cheese on the grill.
  • Smoke for 1-2 hours. At the one-hour mark, the cream cheese will be warm, creamy with a hint of smoke. Smoking longer than 1 hour will accentuate the smoky flavor. Keep an eye on it so it does not melt.
  • Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Serve and Enjoy, hot or cold!
