Smoked Mozzarella Spread with Flatbread Crackers

By KeyIngredient

F&W's Marcia Kiesel likes to whiz smoked mozzarella in the food processor with sun-dried tomato pesto and olive oil.

This was delicious! My guests described it as having the texture of hummus but the taste of cheese. So good!

The texture was a little on the thick side, so I added more olive oil. The flavors are great.

Ingredients

• 1 pound smoked mozzarella, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Flatbread crackers, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the mozzarella, olive oil and pesto and process to a coarse paste. Scrape into a bowl. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve with flatbread crackers.
