This recipe was given to me by someone I worked with. He told me that his wife makes this & everyone loves it. He was VERY right. When I go to party's and I have to bring something my friends ask me to make this recipe and it always disappears. I hope you enjoy this as much as all my friends do.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4-1 lb provolone cheese, sliced thin (divide in 3's)
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers

  • Drain the roasted peppers and pat them dry, chop into small pieces.
  • Once the cream cheese has softened add the crushed garlic and mix well, along a pinch of salt & pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my loaf didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a little dense and the pesto flavor was overpowering.

This loaf was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or butter next time.
