Christmas Appetiser – Italian Cheese Log! #christmascookiesrecipesholidaybaking #christmassugarcookiesrecipeeasy #recipeforsugarcookies #yummysugarcookiesrecipe #swirledsugarcookiesrecipe #christmassugarcookiedesign #softsugarcookiesrecipechristmas #sugarcookiesswig

I made this for my daughter’s winter Christmas themed birthday party today and it was a huge hit. I also made your potatoes au gratin and Brown Sugar Ham Glaze (can you tell I’m a huge fan of yours??). All were wonderful but the cheese log was outstanding I was told! Thank you 🙂

Ingredients

CHEESE LOG:
  • 1/2 tsp EACH thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary, black pepper OR 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp EACH garlic powder, salt, red pepper/chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cup cheddar or other cheese , freshly grated (Note 3)
  • 180 g / 6 oz salami , finely chopped (Note 4)
  • 3/4 cup green olives , finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup green onion , finely minced (3 - 4 stalks)
  • 280 g / 9 oz roasted peppers , drained and finely chopped
  • 500 g / 1 lb cream cheese , softened (Note 1)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (Note 2)

TOPPING/SERVING:
  • 220 g / 7 oz sun dried tomato strips with OIL , roughly chopped
  • Rosemary sprigs (decoration)
  • Jatz or other crackers , for serving
  • 1/4 cup parsley , finely chopped (or chives)

Instructions

  1. First, Spray a loaf pan with oil then line with cling wrap with overhang.
  2. Then, Mix Cheese Log ingredients together. Taste and adjust salt if needed (bear in mind saltiness of crackers you are serving with).
  3. Scrape into loaf pan and level surface, pressing to remove air pockets. Smaller pan = taller loaf.
  4. Cover with cling wrap overhang and refrigerate for 4 hours+ (up to 1 week).
  5. Turn out onto platter, peel off cling wrap.
  6. Top with sun dried tomato and pour over oil. Garnish with parsley and rosemary sprigs to give it a festive look.
  7. Best to serve closer to room temp than fridge cold. Serve with crackers! Knives for smearing optional - it's soft enough to scoop with crackers.

I didn't have enough powdered sugar, so I only added about 1/3 cup and a little vanilla. With the outer coating of sugar, it plenty sweet. I had several unroll on me which didn't affect the taste, but if I make it to take somewhere, I want them to look nice. I THINK they unrolled because didn't leave a clean edge for sealing. I shouldn't have pushed the cream cheese all the way up to the edge. We'll probably use toothpicks when we make them for an event...

Very similar to a recipe I used to use. I find it’s more like 9-10 dozen though! I use salted butter and add about 1.5 tsp vanilla. I cook at 290 for about 25 minutes. You really must let them cool on the tray before removing. Also if your butter doesn’t turn lighter coloured and soft looking them your dough won’t pull together. If your dough doesn’t pull together your cookies won’t work.
