1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (or 1/2 cup onion)
2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (DO NOT use pre-grated as it is a lesser quality. Make sure to grate it yourself as it escalates the quality of the finished dish)
1/4 cup crushed cracker crumbs (Ritz, or 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Using Ritz is best)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley (flat leaf)
