Pesto Cheese  

Well, I had the list of ingredients but no recipe – so I made up the directions.  Seemed reasonable to me.  This obviously makes enough for a crowd.  Easy to half or quarter for a few.

Ingredients:

  • 1 C pine nuts – toasted
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1 C pesto
  •  2 cucumbers – diced fine
  • 2 red bell peppers – diced fine
  • French bread

Directions:

  1. Dice the cucumbers – 1/4 inch or so.
  2. Place in a strainer.
  3. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Toast the pine nuts – watch carefully.
  6. Dice the red peppers – 1/4 inch
  7. Mix the ricotta and cream cheese.
  8. Stir in the pesto.
  9. Press the water out of the cucumbers.
  10. Stir in the cucumbers and peppers.
  11. Place in shallow bowl.
  12. Top with pine nuts.
  13. Serve with baguette slices or crackers.

Serves:  Probably 50
