Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 lb provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1 - 7 oz jar of roasted red peppers, diced
2 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese, softened
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 - 7 oz container of pesto sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 1 lb. bread loaf pan (9 x 5) with wax paper; make sure you leave enough on each side to wrap over the top when done.
  • 2. Mix the soften cream cheese with the minced garlic
  • 3. Line the bottom of the pan with 1/3 of the provolone cheese, which is about 7 to 9 slices. Then spread a 1/3 of pesto over the cheese. Next sprinkle 1/2 of diced roasted peppers over the pesto. Finally, spread 1/2 of the garlic cream cheese over the peppers. Make sure the cream cheese is soft so it spreads easily. Don't worry about what it looks like right now. It will all come together in the end.
  • 4. Repeat the above layering, ending with the remaining pesto over the cream cheese and a final layer of provolone cheese on top.
  • 5. Cover the top with the wax paper that is hanging over the sides and refrigerate overnight.
  • 6. The next day open the top of the wax paper, turn over the loaf pan and shake the pan over a serving dish until the loaf comes out of the pan.
  • 7. Serving Suggestion: Serve with small and thin French bread slices putting a small slice of the loaf on a piece of French bread.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I loved this loaf! The cheddar cheese balanced out the flavor of the pesto perfectly.

This loaf was a disappointment. It was dry, bland, and the pesto flavor was barely there. I won't be making this again.

I found this loaf to be a bit bland. The pesto flavor was very subtle and the cheddar cheese wasn't very noticeable. I think I'll try adding some more pesto and cheese next time.

This loaf was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy bread. The pesto adds a delicious flavor and the cheddar cheese gives it a nice gooey texture.

This loaf was surprisingly good! I wasn't sure how the pesto and cheddar cheese would go together, but it was delicious. The pesto added a nice savory flavor and the cheddar was nice and sharp. I will definitely be making this again.

This pesto loaf is incredibly flavorful, with a moist and tender crumb. The pesto adds a wonderful savory and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sharp cheddar cheese. I highly recommend this recipe!
