Time 20m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons lightly toasted walnut pieces
1 cup tightly packed cleaned basil leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup olive oil
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup Basil Pesto

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients for the Basil Pesto in a blender and process on high speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
  • Pesto Cheese Dip:
  • Place the cream cheese on a decorative microwave-proof plate, and microwave, uncovered, on high until it begins to melt slightly, about 15 seconds.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the cream cheese from the microwave and spoon the Basil Pesto evenly over it.
  • Return plate to the microwave and cook, uncovered, on high until the pesto is just warm but still thick, 5 to 10 seconds.
  • Remove the dip from the microwave and serve with crackers or chips of your choice.
