Festive Holiday Antipasto Cream Cheese Log Recipe 

Ingredients:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

½ cup Kalamata olives, chopped

½ cup roasted red peppers, chopped

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Assorted crackers, breadsticks, or sliced baguette for serving

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and well blended.

2️⃣ Add Antipasto Mix:

Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, roasted red peppers, and parsley. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.

3️⃣ Shape the Log:

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Scoop the cream cheese mixture onto the wrap and form it into a log shape using your hands or a spatula.

4️⃣ Coat with Parmesan Cheese:

Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese on a flat surface. Roll the cream cheese log in the cheese, pressing gently to ensure it adheres evenly.

5️⃣ Chill and Set:

Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
