Tis the Season....so try this festive appetizer! It is really good - and people will be amazed with your "pine cone building" technique :) I used Ritz crackers - and it was really good!! The only thing is people are always "nervous" to be the first one to wreck it -- ha ha. Enjoy - and Merry Christmas MONTH!!
Ingredients:
8oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Jack Mexican Style cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped canned green chilies
1/3 cup sliced almonds - toasted
Ritz Crackers
Place cream cheese, shredded cheese, and mustard in food processor. Process until blended - then stir in chilies.
Place on a sheet of wax paper - shape into 4 inch oval to resemble a pinecone. Insert almonds in rows to completely cover cream cheese mixture. Cover - refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm. Let stand at room temp for 15 min before serving.
