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.

• 1 pound smoked mozzarella, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
