Sun-Dried Tomato Spread
SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD
~ Valerie Elkinton
"This creamy, bubbly spread is sure to please. Baked to a golden brown,
cream cheese and mayonnaise give this appetizer a mild flavor."
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (7 ounces) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes,
drained and chopped
2/3 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
Assorted Crackers........
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, onion and garlic until blended.
Stir in tomatoes and red peppers. Stir in the mozzarella cheese. Italian cheese blend
and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Transfer to a greased 13"x9" baking dish (sprayed with Pam). Sprinkle with the
remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered, at 350^ for 18-22 minutes or until
edges are bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with crackers.
