Preparation

Step 1

Cut cheddar cheese and cream cheese into 1/4 inch slices, then again in half.

Using a small dish with a little bit of an edge, place cheese slices on end alternating between cheddar and cream cheese slices.

Make the marinade by combining sugar, basil, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, pimento, parsley, onion and garlic.

Pour marinade over cheese, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Take out of the refrigerator about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve with sliced baguettes or triscuits (low-salt).
