SouthernChef Recipe « Graduation Spread

So named because I made this when relatives came into town for my husband's college graduation. This cream cheese and olive mixture makes for a unique texture; the flavors taste best if allowed to meld overnight. It is great served with a small, crusty bread. Its a crowd pleaser!

• 1 (6 ounce) can pitted black olives, chopped
• 1 (5 ounce) jar pitted green olives

• 4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Cooking Directions

1. In a medium size bowl, whip softened cream cheese with a whisk. Mix in olives, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into a serving bowl, and top with sesame seeds.
