Sundried Tomato and Pesto Cheeseball Recipe. Easy and Yummy!
Ingredients
2 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (comes in the canister)
1 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
½ cup prepared basil pesto
¾ cup pine nuts, toasted
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the three cheese together until well combined.
Add in the sundried tomatoes and basil pesto and combine without over working the mixture.
Spread a sheet of plastic wrap onto the work surface and spoon the mixture onto the plastic wrap*. Pull the plastic wrap around the side of the mixture, forming a ball and wrapping tightly.
Place wrapped cheeseball in the freezer until firm, or thaw 30 minute prior to serving.
Before serving, toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring the nuts often to ensure they toast evenly.
When cool, spread pine nuts on a cutting board, unwrap the cheeseball and roll over the pine nuts until covered.
Serve with crackers or soft baguette bread.
