Secret Recipe Club: Baked Cheesy Spread

Time for Secret Recipe Club! I was super excited for this month because I got assigned The Freshman Cook who had my blog last month! (and created these awesome andes mint brownie bites!)

Every week Teri creates a list of what she will be making for the week and when I saw this posting I knew what  I would be making! (This was a really fun sneak preview too!)


 Teri said the exact same things I was thinking when I saw this. 
  • The recipe uses items you probably already have in your pantry/fridge.
  • We thought you could substitute the dried apricots for apricot (or any other flavor of preserves)
  • It's Holiday season and you are always searching for a new recipe or something quick and easy to bring to the next party-- Yes, I said next party because if your work place is anything like mine there will be about 4 parties between now and December 25th.





Baked Apricot Spread

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup dried apricots, sliced
1/4 cup almonds,sliced
Crackers, for serving

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a medium bowl until well blended. Add sour cream and apricots and mix well. Spread into a greased pie plate and sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the nuts are lightly toasted.
Cool Slightly and serve with crackers.

There is nothing better than warm apricot and cheese on a cracker or piece of baguette! What a great holiday recipe...tho I can see me eating this randomly. I just love savory and sweet! Great recipe! : )
