Pesto Log
- 16 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) jar pesto sauce
- 1 (9 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes
- 8 -10 slices provolone cheese
- 4 -8 ounces pine nuts
- First, lightly toast pine nuts.
- Then line small loaf pan with plastic wrap.
- Next place thin slices of Provolone cheese on bottom and up the sides of the pans.
- Blot excess oil from Pesto with paper towel (I invert jar over some paper towels while preparing other ingredients).
- Mix cream cheese with a little milk to soften, then start layering 1/3 of the cream cheese, then 1/2 of the tomato spread, sprinkle with pine nuts, 1/2 the pesto, 1/3 of the cream cheese, 1/2 tomato spread, sprinkle more pine nuts, 1/2 the pesto, and finish with the last 1/3 of the cream cheese.
- Invert onto a serving dish, remove plastic wrap and sprinkle pine nuts on top.
- Serve with crackers and enjoy.
- *Note: I use two mini loaf pans and split each layer of ingredients between the two pans.
- Then I have one to serve and one to save for later or two plates to pass around.
