Directions
Pesto Cheese Blossom (Paula Deen), This is a recipe from Paula Deen I made it for a New Year’s party and everyone raved It makes a beautiful presentation when sliced *Changed to add an additional 8 oz pkg of cream cheese per Home-By-Dawn’s review Thank you!, I had been making this for years and then lost the recipe It is a bit time consuming but you can make it ahead of time and it is always a hit I make mine in a soup bowl so it can hold the shape while chilling Also I have substituted roasted red peppers for the sun-dried tomatoes for a friend allergic to tomatoes and it works great , Great presentation and really yummy! I did not freeze it, keeps the shape well anyway
