ITALIAN SUN-DRIED TOMATO, PROVOLONE AND PESTO TORTE



Italian Sun-Dried Tomato, Provolone and Pesto Torte image

My mother-in-law recently served this at our baby shower. It was a tremendous hit! Delicious flavors meld together to create a rich and creamy indulgence. Serve with toasted baguette, crackers, veggies, or whatever else you please. This looks so pretty on a serving plate - your guests won't want to touch it. But they'll be glad when they do - delish! Note: cooking time is chill time.

Categories     Cheese

Time 15m

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 -12 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature (1 stick)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts
French baguettes or cracker
grapes, if desired

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch-square pan with plastic wrap, extending the ends of the wrap over the edges of the pan.
  • Line the pan with the provolone cheese (reserve a few slices for another layer of the torte), overlapping the slices a bit and pressing the edges together slightly. The cheese should extend over the edges of the pan enough that it can help encase the finished torte layers.
  • Using a food processor, mix together the cram cheese, butter and garlic. Spread the ingredients in layers in the following order: one-third of the mixture, one-half of the pesto, a layer of provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, one-third of the mixture, the remaining pesto, and the remaining mixture.
  • Fold the sides of the cheese over the mixture to encase it, using another slice in the middle, if needed. Fold the edges of plastic wrap over the finished cheese torte, covering tightly. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • To serve, invert the mold onto a cutting board, remove the plastic wrap and cut the torte diagonally into halves or fourths. Serve with crackers or baguette slices.
  • Red and green grapes make a good accompaniment.

PESTO TORTE



Pesto Torte image

This fabulous torte can be made without the sun-dried tomatoes. The combination of cream cheese and pesto is mouth-watering. The original recipe comes from Ann Hodgman's Beat This cookbook. I reduced the amount of butter used, and I like to make it in a loaf pan rather than custard cups! You can use basil or artichoke pesto, and I often use dry packed tomatoes but reduce the quantity by half.

CHEESE, PESTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO TORTA



Cheese, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Torta image

I make this for a potlucks or parties, so often I assemble a tiny one in a mini-loaf pan for the two of us. If there are any leftovers, they go great on bagels. I sometimes take small disposable containers so people can take some home with them. If you want to use pre-made pesto, 3/4-1 cup should be enough for this dish. I usually serve it with assorted crackers, but it goes well on toasted baguette slices and mini-bagels too. It takes awhile to assemble, but cooking time is simply chilling time.
