Q. What recipe do you always get raves over and share it!
A.
Marinated Cheese
by Tanya Shores
This is delicious, but quite potent because of the garlic. If your honey doesn’t like garlic make sure you have a breath mint handy!
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3 T chopped fresh parsley
3 T minced green onions
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-ounce) jar chopped pimiento, drained
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) block sharp cheddar cheese
1 (8-ounce) block Monterrey jack cheese
Combine first 8 ingredients in a jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously. Set aside.
Cut cream cheese in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into ~1/4 " slices. Cut and trim cheddar into equal number of 1/4" slices, same size as cream cheese slices. Repeat with Monterrey jack cheese.
Sandwich cream cheese between cheddar and jack cheeses. Stand sandwiches on their edges in shallow dish, and pour marinade over cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours.
Drain marinade; arrange cheese on a platter in rows. Top with pimiento, and serve with assorted crackers – Wheat Thins are just the right size.
