Not sure where this one came from, but it's a nice, colorful appetizer - and delicious, too! Servings are approximate, cooking time is refrigeration time. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (can use reduced fat) |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
8 ounces feta cheese |
2 teaspoons thyme |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 tablespoons pesto sauce |
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, drained and chopped |
additional red pepper, strips (garnish) |
Directions:
1. Line a one-quart dish with plastic wrap. 2. Place the garlic and cheeses in a food processor, and process. 3. Add oil and thyme, and process again until well combined. 4. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture in the dish. 5. Then spread the pesto over the cheese. 6. Spread another 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the pesto. 7. Next, layer with the chopped red peppers. 8. Finish with the final layer of cheese. 9. Cover and chill at least 2 hrs. 10. When ready to serve, unmold onto serving plate and garnish with additional red pepper strips, and fresh herbs (thyme or basil) if desired. 11. Serve with crackers or raw veggies. |
