Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- In a bowl combine all the ingredients for the dip and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Place a piece of non-stick plastic wrap on a clean bench top or work surface.
- Scoop the cream cheese mixture out onto the plastic wrap and completely cover with another piece of wrap.
- Use your hands to mould the cream cheese mixture into a ball.
- Carefully pick up the cheese ball with one hand and peel off the plastic wrap on the bottom of the ball with your other hand.
- Place the ball straight onto a serving plate.
- Decorate: dry each olive and sun dried tomato piece on a sheet of paper towel to soak up the oil before placing them on the cheese ball so they adhere better.
- Lightly press them into the cream cheese to ensure they stay on.
- Brush with some sun dried tomato oil from the jar (optional but adds even more flavour)!.
- Serve with crackers of your choice, salami and prosciutto slices rolled up!ENJOY!.
