Gouda Cheese Logs

Gouda Cheese Logs

(24 servings)

Ingredients:

1 tub (8 oz.) Soft Cream Cheese

2 cups Shredded Gouda or Smoked Gouda (8 oz.)

¼ cup Fresh Chives, chopped

¼ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, drained & sliced

¼ tsp. Garlic Powder

¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together the two cheeses.  Now add the chives, tomatoes and garlic until well mixed.  Divide into 2 equal portions and roll each into a log shape.  Roll each in the parsley, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Unwrap and serve on a platter or cutting board with an assortment of crackers, chips and vegetables.  It is best to set it out about 15 minutes before service.

Note:               You can use other flavors of cheese for variety or to meet your

                        tastes.

Note:               You can also grind up a flavor of nuts you like and roll the logs in the nuts for a different look and taste.  Try doing one log in nuts and the other in the parsley for a better display.
