This recipe is for an easy appetizer for Christmas time. I love serving festive appetizers and this is a great one. Originally from Kraft Food and Family. It is super fast and makes a presentation. If you don't like string cheese I sub in a long thicker pretzel stick/log as the trunk and it looks and tastes great. Merry Christmas. Enjoy. ChefDLH Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package philadelphia cream cheese |
1/2 cup pesto sauce |
1/4 cup chopped red pepper |
1 stick mozzarella string cheese |
ritz crackers or other round cracker |
Directions:
1. CUT block of cream cheese diagonally in half. Arrange both halves, with points together, on serving plate to resemble Christmas-tree shape.
2. CUT a 2-inch piece from the string cheese. Place at bottom of tree for the trunk. Wrap up remaining cheese; refrigerate until ready to use for snacking or other use.
3. SPOON pesto over cream cheese; sprinkle with peppers.
4. SERVE as a spread in the middle of plate and surround with the crackers. (put a spreader or knife nearby for guests to spread on crackers).
