Number Of Ingredients 16

8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1 tsp sugar
6 oz jar pimentos (red peppers)
4 clove garlic
4 Tbsp italian flat leaf parsley
1 bunch green onions (both green and white parts)

2 tsp fresh chopped oregano
1/2 c good quality balsamic vinegar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
3/4 c good quality olive oil
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg crackers
1 loaf french bread
1 bunch edible flowers

Steps:

1. Cut cheeses into 1/4 inch squares then in half again Arrange slices on their ends, alternating one piece cheddar then one piece cream cheese. Make sure cheese is very cold before slicing or it may be necessary to spread the cream cheese over the cheddar with a knife.
2. Mince garlic and dice pimentos (red peppers), finely chop fresh herbs. Combine herbs, and peppers in a small bowl, add all remaining ingredients, blend well to combine Salt and pepper to taste
3. Pour marinade over arranged cheese, cover and refrigerate overnight. There will be a lot of liquid at first but it will absorb into the cheese during the marinating process. Serve with crackers and french bread slices
