Marinated Cheese Appetizer
Report
It's slices of cheddar and cream cheese marinated in an herb vinaigrette. Really, it doesn't get easier than that, but it looks fancy and festive.

Instructions
- Cut cheddar cheese and cream cheese into 1/4 inch slices, then again in half.
- Using a small dish with a little bit of an edge, place cheese slices on end alternating between cheddar and cream cheese slices.
- Make the marinade by combining sugar, basil, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, pimento, parsley, onion and garlic.
- Pour marinade over cheese, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Take out of the refrigerator about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve with sliced baguettes or triscuits (low-salt).
Notes
