This is THE most fabulous party appetizer. I had this at an after holiday party and it was by far the most requested recipe (my Recipe #163601 was the second!) Be sure to make ahead because it should chill at least 4 hours.

PARTY AND HOLIDAY FOUR-CHEESE PATE (EASY)

Party and Holiday Four-Cheese Pate (easy) image

One of my favorite "fancy dancy" dishes to make for parties, potlucks, holidays and such! Very easy to make and so very good! Rich and creamy and wonderful on fresh apple slices or crackers. This feeds a small crowd, but leftovers keep very well in the fridge. ;) Enjoy! :D (Photo from Taste of Home)
