Recipe Introduction
Now, personally I didn't like this but I don't like gorgonzola. I took it to a party, though, and it got great reviews. They ate most of it. So if you like gorgonzola, give it a try. If you're like me and don't like gorgonzola but you like feta, try the Feta Fruit Torta that's also in my appetizer/dip section. I loved it w/the feta!
List of Ingredients
16 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese -- crumbled (see note)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup green onion -- chopped
1/4 cup parsley
1/2 cup dried apricots -- chopped
1/4 cup slivered almonds -- toastedRecipe
Cut up cream cheese and butter. Place in a food processor with Gorgonzola and salt and mix until smooth. Line an 8" by 4" loaf pan with foil (I made it in a small mixin bowl). Grease with cooking spray. Layer the following ingredients in order:
Cranberries
1/3 cream cheese mixture
green onion and parsley
1/3 cream cheese mixture
apricots
1/3 cream cheese mixture
Use a small spatula greased with cooking spray to spread cream cheese mixture easily over other ingredients
without mixing. Cover and chill until firm. Turn uncovered pan upside down on a serving plate and remove foil very
gently. Top torta with slivered almonds. Serve with crackers.
NOTE: I only used about 3 oz. of the gorgonzola and added an extra 2 oz. of cream cheese I had sitting in the fridge.
