LAYERED SUNDRIED TOMATO AND ARTICHOKE SPREAD

Steps:

• Cut cream cheese horizontally into 3 slices using dental floss. (Make sure it is not flavored floss and I found it easiest to place the cream cheese on it's side to do this. Then I finished each slice with my santoku knife)
• Place 1 slice on a large sheet of plastic wrap: top with tomatoes and second slice of cream cheese.
• Combine artichokes and pesto; spoon over second cream cheese layer. Top with remaining cream cheese slice.
• Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Before serving, top with nuts and parsley. Press lightly into cream cheese to secure. Serve with assorted crackers.
