12 Days away!
One of our Christmas traditions is to prepare a bunch of appetizers to eat on Christmas Eve & Christmas day. A cornucopia of appetizers if you will. From my favorite Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts, to some simple pita bread with hummus or spicy crab dip. Here is a yummy and very easy one I have recently discovered.
Cream Cheese Log with Dried Beef
Here is what you will need:
1 container (8 ounces) reduced-fat, soft style cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon drained prepared horseradish
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 ounces)
2 ounces dried beef (finely chopped)
1/2 cup finely chopped chives or green onion tops
In a small bowl, with an electric mixer on high, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and horseradish until creamy. Stir in Swiss cheese & dried beef. Shape the mixture into an 8-inch log. Wrap log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (will keep for 2 days).
Spread the chives on wax paper. Unwrap the log and carefully roll it in the chives, coating it completely. Re-wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until time to serve.
Enjoy!
