Chez,
ReplyDeleteIs that something that you have done in the past or is that a "clean out the refrigerator" creation?
It really does sound good!
Would you change anything after creating it, i.e., add something or change the proportions on something?

i've not made it before, but i've made traditional pimento cheese many times & this was just a riff on that. i am going to a friend's house for thanksgiving, and he loves muffalettas ... and they asked me to bring a cheese tray ... and i just happened to have some cream cheese & all the other ingredients on hand ... one thing led to another, badda boom ... muffaletta cheese spread was born. i think i'll shape it like a muffaletta & roll it in chopped pecans & make it a muffaletta cheese *log* and make it the center of my cheese tray to take to the party.
