Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup basil (fresh, leaves only)
3 tablespoons pine nuts
¼ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 block cream cheese ((low fat version not recommended))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the first 5 ingredients down to the olive oil in a food processor or mini chopper and blend together to make the pesto.
Put the cream cheese block on a baking tray. You can put parchment paper under the cream cheese to make the transition to the serving tray later a little easier.
Spread a thick layer of the pesto on top of the cream cheese block.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until it is a little brown and bubbly on top. Serve with whole grain crackers or toast points.
