    List of Ingredients




    1 whole firm round Chihuahua or Monterey Jack cheese (1 pound)
    1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts or pepperoncini peppers, drained
    1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
    1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
    Crackers, if desired

    Recipe



    1. Remove any waxed coating or rind from Chihuahua cheese. Hollow out cheese with knife or spoon, leaving 1/2-inch thick side and bottom; reserve cheese shell.
    2. Finely chop enough of the scooped-out cheese to measure 1 cup. (Reserve any extra for another use.)
    3. Place 1 cup chopped cheese, the cream cheese, artichoke hearts, 3 tablespoons of the pine nuts and the basil in food processor. Cover and process using quick on-and-off motions until well mixed.
    4. Pack mixture into cheese shell.
    5. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon pine nuts; press lightly. Cover and refrigerate about 3 hours or until filling is firm.
    6. Cut into thin wedges. Serve with crackers.
