Italian Sun-Dried Tomato, Provolone and Pesto Torte image

My mother-in-law recently served this at our baby shower. It was a tremendous hit! Delicious flavors meld together to create a rich and creamy indulgence. Serve with toasted baguette, crackers, veggies, or whatever else you please. This looks so pretty on a serving plate - your guests won't want to touch it. But they'll be glad when they do - delish! Note: cooking time is chill time.

This torte was a disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe.

This torte was a bit too rich for my taste. The filling was very heavy and the crust was a bit too buttery. But I think this would be a great recipe for someone who loves rich, decadent desserts.

The instructions were easy to follow and the torte turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought pesto and it worked out great. The torte was a big hit at my party.

This torte was a hit! The flavors of the sun-dried tomatoes, provolone, and pesto came together perfectly. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
