Basil

Tis the season for great food! Sometimes we are required to take something special to contribute to the menu at a holiday event. I have it, look no farther! This is a VERY special recipe you will gain many accolades over…and maybe a few pounds ;) . …and it’s vegetarian!

It’s my gift to you…sit back and enjoy the praise.

Layered Pesto Loaf

1 lb provolone sliced not too thin
1 16 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup pistachios or pine nuts
1 Tbl. butter
1 bunch basil
1 cup parmesan cheese grated
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
garlic cloves
olive oil

Process the cream cheese, butter, nuts and 1 garlic clove and olive oil to bind…not too wet!

Process and blot sun-dried tomatoes

Line meatloaf pan with cheese cloth- layer first with provolone followed by
cream cheese, pesto then sun-dried tomatoes

* Make sure to seperate pesto layer with provolone so it doesn’t bleed through. Serve with a variety of crackers or some really great warm bread.

Enjoy!
