>> step: beat the cream cheese soft
Beat @cream cheese{1%lb}(450 g, at room temperature) with @heavy cream{2%Tbs} and @kosher salt{1/4%tsp} until it is smooth and takes a peak.

>> step: slice the scallions thin
Slice @scallions{6}(white and green both) as thin as you can be bothered to, on a slight angle.

>> step: fold them through
Fold @&(~1)sliced scallions{} through @&(~2)beaten cream cheese{} with @white pepper{1/8%tsp} and @lemon juice{1/2%tsp}, turning rather than stirring so the green stays in streaks.

>> step: chill 1 hr
Chill @&(~1)schmear{} ~chill{1%hr} before it goes on anything, so the onion has time to give itself up to the cheese.
