Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Appetizer

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce & Pine Nut Cream Cheese "Torte"

The following is based on a suggestion from Pfaelzer Brothers* for a simple appetizer, pairing cream cheese and their Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce.

Slice a large bar of cream cheese lengthwise, sprinkling chopped, fresh basil leaves on one layer along with toasted pine nuts and a moderate amount of Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce. (If you overdo the sauce on this lower level, there may be a great slide after the torte is assembled.)
Carefully place the remaining slice of cream cheese n top and spread additional Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce on the top.

Sprinkle toasted pine nuts around and over the cream cheese torte. Serve with crackers or toasted bread slices.
