Many years ago I discovered this recipe at an evening of playing Bunco. Remember Bunco?! On this particular night, someone made tea sandwiches with the most delicious spread and I immediately fell in love. The combination of the creamy, salty, and nutty taste is the perfect trio of flavors. If you’ve never had it, give it a try!

Cinco de Mayo is just days away and how better to celebrate than with a yummy Mexican style cheese torte! During my catering years, I developed this recipe to serve as an Hors D’oeuvre and it looks and tastes fantastic when served with assorted crackers. The base is cream cheese, and with a few easy additions and toppings, it becomes a flavorful, colorful cheese spread. This dish quickly became a client favorite and was requested time and again.
