Christina's Notes
- Pan: Do not use a metal pan to make marinated cheese. The metal could interfere with the flavor of this easy recipe.
- Roasted Red Peppers: Top this marinated cheese appetizer with roasted red peppers for some extra flavor. If you don't have any, add some red pepper flakes, onion and garlic.
- Garnish: You can garnish the cheese slices with dried herbs or fresh herbs, like basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme, or parsley.
- Tip: Putting the cream cheese in the freezer for about 30 minutes helped it to keep its shape better as you sliced it. So it is simple to make.
