Stuffed Cheese Spread

  • Prep Time 25 min
  • Total 3 hr 25 min
  • Servings 10
  • Ingredients 6
  • Pin

Ingredients

  • 1 round (7 ounces) Edam cheese
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • Crackers, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Remove outer plastic wrap of cheese. Cut just through top of wax (not through cheese), making 8 equal wedges. Carefully pull back wax wedges from center toward outside edge. Hollow out cheese with knife or spoon, leaving 1/2-inch-thick side and bottom; reserve cheese shell. Finely chop enough of the scooped-out cheese to measure 1 cup.
  • Step 
    2
    Place 1 cup chopped cheese, the cream cheese, artichoke hearts, 3 tablespoons of the pine nuts and the basil in food processor. Cover and process until well mixed.
  • Step 
    3
    Pack half of the mixture ( 2/3 cup) into cheese shell. Reserve other half for refilling. Press remaining pine nuts lightly into top of cheese. Cover and refrigerate until filling is firm, about 3 hours but no longer than 1 week. Serve with crackers.
