THREE CHEESE PEPPERONCINI SPREAD



Three Cheese Pepperoncini Spread image

This is a super easy appetizer to prepare the next time you're hosting company. Pepperoncinis are a milder pepper and add a slight bite to the dip, but do not make it spicy. Feta and gorgonzola cheese complement each other wonderfully and add to the punch of flavor. This dip is very rich, thick, and creamy. Fantastic on a slice...

8 oz Greek cream cheese (cream cheese and Greek yogurt), if available or regular cream cheese - softened
4 oz crumbled Feta cheese

1 Tbsp juice from peppers
1 clove garlic
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

PRESSED PICNIC SANDWICH WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER AND PEPPERONCINI SPREAD



Pressed Picnic Sandwich with Roasted Red Pepper and Pepperoncini Spread image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 pepperoncini, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1(12 to 14-inch) loaf ciabatta bread, sliced in half lengthwise
5 ounces herbed goat cheese
1/4 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced
1/4 pound salami, thinly sliced
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
2 cup loosely packed arugula
Balsamic vinegar, as needed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the spread: Combine the mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, pepperoncini and garlic in a small mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Season the spread with salt and pepper and set aside. For the sandwich: Scoop out the center of each bread half, creating a hollow space for all the ingredients. Spread the herbed goat cheese on both sides of the bread and then add the roasted red pepper and pepperoncini spread. On the bottom half of the bread, lay the slices of prosciutto, salami and top with the artichokes. Top with the arugula, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Place the top half of the bread on top and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and top with another baking sheet. Place a heavy pan (like cast iron) on the top baking sheet and store in the refrigerator, for at least 4 hours and up to overnight to allow the flavors to marry together. (If you can't fit 2 sheet trays in your refrigerator, just use the heaviest pan you have.) To serve, unwrap the sandwich and slice into 8 to 10 individual servings.;

Tips:

  • For a creamier spread, use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients until smooth.
  • If you don't have cream cheese on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • To add a bit of heat, use a hotter variety of pepperoncini, such as Fresno or jalapeño peppers.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, chips, or vegetables for a delicious appetizer or snack.
  • Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This three-cheese pepperoncini spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cream cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful spread that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this three-cheese pepperoncini spread a try. You won't be disappointed!
