Ingredients

• 2 sticks cold butter, cut into pieces
• 12 oz Feta Cheese, cut into pieces
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, cut into pieces

Oil a 4 or 5 cup mold (with straight sides) Line with plastic wrap. Layer in the ingredients in this order:

1/2 " pine nuts, then sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, cheese mixture. Repeat until the mold is full -- usually twice or three time if mold is small.
