Marinated Cheese

Ingredients
  • 1 (8 oz) block of Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 (8 oz) package Cream Cheese
Marinade
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup White Wine Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Parsley, chopped
  • 1 stalk Green Onions, minced
  • 4-6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 (2 oz) jar diced Pimientos drained
  • 3/4 teaspoons dried Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper diced (optional)

Directions
  1. Combine all Marinade ingredients in a jar, cover tightly, and shake vigorously.
  2. Make sure cheese is well chilled (put in freezer for 15 minutes). Cut block of cheddar in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/4" thick slices.
  3. Cut Cream Cheese using the same procedure above.
  4. Arrange cheese slices alternately (Cheddar, Cream, Cheddar, Cream ...) in a shallow baking dish, standing them in their edge.
  5. Pour marinade over cheese slices. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Serve with crackers, or just pop them in your mouth when nobody is looking. This was served at a party and I embarrassingly ate about half the plate. It was sooooo good!!
