I had dinner with a friend last week and she served the most delicious appetizer. It was yummy, pretty AND easy to make (music to my ears). Here’s the recipe and I promise if you serve this bad boy the next time you have friends over, it’ll be the hit of the party!
Ingredients
- 1 8oz brick Philadelphia brand cream cheese (not softened)
- 2 tsp dried wasabi – more or less to you and your guests liking. Follow preparation instructions on the wasabi container.
- 1/4c sesame seeds
- 1/4c soy sauce
- 1/4c chopped green onions
- Optional – slivered fresh ginger for garnish
Directions
- Prepare wasabi paste, set aside.
- Split cream cheese lengthwise into 3 slices.
- Spread the wasabi paste on the 2 cut sides, adding more or less wasabi to your liking.
- Layer the cream cheese slices to reform the brick (like a layer cake).
- After layering the cream cheese, coat the sesame seeds all over the cream cheese.
- Place wasabi cream cheese on a serving plate and pour the soy sauce around the brick.
- Garnish with green onion, ginger slices, and extra wasabi if desired.
Cheers,
Heather
