Pimientos give great color to this soft-textured cheese log. I make it for many occasions throughout the year. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained |
2 tablespoons finely chopped ripe olives |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated onion |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the next nine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Shape into a log. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Serve with crackers. Yield: 1-1/4 cups. |
