When I use to cater this was one of the most requested dishes from my clients. I can't believe I am finally posting the recipe but I recently misplaced it and figure if I put it on here it will never be lost. I serve this with Wheat Thins. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
7 ounces roasted red peppers, drained and diced |
3 green onions, chopped |
3 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped |
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
8 ounces colby-monterey jack cheese |
8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese |
8 -16 ounces cream cheese |
Directions:
1. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, and lime juice until blended.
2. Stir in red peppers, green onions, parsley, cilantro, sugar, salt and pepper.
3. Set marinade aside.
4. Cut blocks of cheese in half lengthwise.
5. Cut into thin rectangular slices.
6. Arrange cheese slices alternately into a pie dish or other shallow dish, standing slices on end.
7. Pour marinade over slices and spread gently with fork until cheese is pretty much covered.
8. Cover and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
