Pesto Dip

This is a very quick and easy appetizer. If you have the ingredients on hand it only takes a few minutes to put together and it is delicious.

• 1 250 g. ( 8 oz.) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• a small jar of prepared pesto
• oil packed, sun-dried tomatoes,
• pine nuts, lightly toasted and salted if desired

1. Beat cream cheese until light and smooth and spread on a small platter or dinner plate.
2. Spoon prepared pesto over cream cheese, leaving a bit of the cream cheese showing around the edge.
3. Arrange the sun dried tomatoes evenly over the pesto layer. If they are large, cut them into smaller pieces first.
4. Sprinkle with pine nuts and refrigerate for an hour or so to blend the flavours.
5. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.
