10 Reviews of Marinated Cheese Appetizer

I've made this twice now for parties, and both times everyone just loved it. I used monterey jack cheese instead of cream cheese. With blocks of cheddar and jack cheese the same size, the slices are uniform in size and texture. Very pretty on the serving platter. I served with baguette slices and found that I liked it best at room temperature.

This was quite tasty - and easy. I used Triscuits - between the crackers and the appetizer something was rather salty - could just be me - I'm "sensitive" to salt - I'll be making this again though. I used Philly Cream cheese, and a White Sharp Cheddar cheese. Update: It was the triscuits that were so salty - by the way - the longer the chesse marinates - the better it becomes!

I love this recipe. I often make it using 2 packages of cream cheese (no cheddar). I also usually make it and serve it in the same dish to avoid a lot of clean up. If you need to travel with this dish, remove most of the marinade back to the shaker jar and redistribute it when you arrive.

Got this from a friend, made it for the first time as one of my appetizers for Christmas. The color was an added plus for this time of year. It was quickly devored. I loved it. It would make an impressive dish to take to a party, makes a great impression, and is yummy.

Was going to post, but am instead reviewing this delicious and impressive appetizer. It is really very tasty and gives a unique look to your buffet table. When you transfer to your serving tray, you will leave most of the marinade behind, and as long as you have some of herbs/pimentos on top, there is no need to spoon additional marinade on, IMO. Enjoy!

I love this recipe. I originally got it from Southern Living. It really is such a great appetizer or snack. Has such an elegant look to it with the red and green ingredients. So professional, so delicious...and I'm taking all the credit

I'm glad I read the reviews, as I was looking at the dish trying to figure out how I was supposed to get slices of cheese out from the marinade (the olive oil congealed with refrigeration) and onto crackers. I let it warm to room temperature, then removed the cheeses to a serving plate with good results. We liked the cream cheese better than the cheddar (the cheddar didn't seem to take the marinade well), so I think next time I'll just use that. This is very tasty, and I've already had requests to bring it to my next party.
