This impressive and festive-looking cheese spread is simple to put together and never fails to get raves at parties. Before I retired. I looked for recipes like this that can be prepared way ahead. Jeanne Messina, Darien, Connecticut Ingredients:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened, divided |
2 tablespoons milk |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed, softened |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup pecan halves |
red and green apple slices or cracker |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat one package if cream cheese with milk and sour cream until smooth. Spread into a 9-in. pie plate lined with plastic wrap. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
2. In a bowl, beat Brie, Swiss, blue cheese and remaining cream cheese until thoroughly combined. Gently spread over chopped pecans, smoothing the top to form a flat surface. Cover and chill overnight or up to 3-4 days.
