Recipe Introduction


Very simple, but a great flavor combination. Looks very pretty at Christmas. Serve with crackers or bread.


List of Ingredients




2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 C. pesto
1 (12-oz.) jar roasted red bell peppers


Recipe



Slice each block of cream cheese lengthwise. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, with edges hanging over. Place a strip of cream cheese between two layers of plastic wrap.

Flatten the cheese with a rolling pin until it is the same size as the loaf pan's bottom. Place the cream cheese into the loaf pan. Spread pesto (about 1/4" thick) over the cream cheese. Repeat this process until all of the pesto and cream cheese has been used. The final layer should be cream cheese. Fold the plastic wrap over the final layer, & refrigerate for at least 3 hrs.

When ready to serve, gently remove the torta from the loaf pan. Unwrap the plastic wrap & remove. Place drained, roasted red peppers over the top of the torta.
