Basil Parmesan Spread

10 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg of frozen spinach (thawed and drained well to remove excess moisture)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 or so fresh garlic cloves and/or garlic salt (I use fresh crushed garlic only)
  • 1 cup fresh basil (you can use dried basil- a 1/2 cup or so)
  • Pepper to taste.

Directions

  1. 1
    1) Line a medium sized bowl with plastic wrap leaving a 4-inch overhang.
  2. 2
    2) In food processor or blender combine spinach, olive oil, basil, garlic and parmesan cheese. Blend until almost smooth.
  3. 3
    3)In a separate bowl mix the cream cheese and goat cheese until blended and smooth. (Mixing with fork will suffice.)
  4. 4
    4) In the bowl lined with plastic wrap, layer, in thirds, the cheese mixture and spinach. Top with walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes. Repeat for additional layers. When you have used all of your ingredients, fold the edge of the plastic wrap over the cheese ball. Mold into a mound. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two before serving.
