Watercress Cream Cheese

Inspired by The Settlement Cookbook

I love the flavor of watercress, and mixed with cream cheese and heavy cream, it adds a depth of flavor that is so satisfyingly creamy. I used this as a filling for my Sally Lunn buns, but I think it would also make a great spread for sesame bagels.
