CHEESE….what can I say I love it! I do eat more than I should, but hey I can’t help it. This recipe calls for mozzarella cheese, but I use sharp cheddar. I need more flavor. I upped the sun-dried tomatoes too, because to me the more the merrier. I have made this with dried herbs and fresh, fresh garlic and garlic powder; both are delicious. Served at your next party, guests will love it. Enjoy!
1/3 C. olive oil
2-4 Tbsp. chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped basil, or 1 tsp. dried
1 tsp. minced chives
1/4 tsp. garlic powder, or 1 clove minced
1 lb. cheddar cheese, cut into 1-in. cubes
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients; add cheese cubes. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; serve with toothpicks.
Yields: 8-10 servings
