Print Recipe

Irresistible Cheese Log with Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes is a decadent and flavorful masterpiece that combines the creamy richness of cream cheese, vibrant herbal notes of basil pesto, and sweet-tart punch of sun-dried tomatoes, all coated in a crunchy walnut and parsley exterior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, basil pesto, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

2. 2. Using your hands or plastic wrap, form the cheese mixture into a log or cylinder shape.

3. 3. Roll the cheese log in the chopped toasted walnuts and fresh parsley, ensuring an even coating all around.

4. 4. Refrigerate the coated cheese log for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up before serving.

5. 5. Slice the chilled cheese log and serve it with your favorite crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Opt for full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor. Avoid low-fat or reduced-fat varieties, as they may not hold their shape as well.

Feel free to experiment with different types of pesto or add in additional herbs, spices, or even diced olives for extra flavor.
