Dried Beef Cream Cheese Christmas Log
Ingredients:
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 teaspoon drained prepared horseradish
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 ounces)
2 ounces dried beef (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon drained canned pimientos
(chopped)
1/2 cup finely chopped chives or green onion
tops
Makes 14 appetizer servings.
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, and pimientos. 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. Rewrap in plastic
wrap and refrigerate until time to serve.
Serve the cheese log with melba toast
slices.
NOTE: I make a candy cane out of this by molding into a log and then curving the top. I alternated chopped red pepper and green onion tops to decorate for the candy cane. I did not refrigerate for two days; just long enough for it to set. It was a real hit at the Christmas Party!!
