Ingredients

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (3.5 oz) ATHENOS Traditional Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup CLASSICO Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce and Spread
2 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. HEINZ Balsamic Vinegar

Steps:

In a food processor, blend 1 pkg. of cream cheese and the feta cheese until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Spoon into a plastic baggie and refrigerate.
Add the remaining 1 pkg. of cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and pesto sauce to the food processor and process until well blended. Add the toasted pine nuts and pulse several times to mix. Place mixture into a plastic wrap-lined bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, water, olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
Unwrap the pesto ball and turn onto a plate. Gently shape into an oval. Cut the tip off of one corner of the feta mixture baggie and pipe onto the pesto ball in a twisting brain-like pattern. Spoon the sun-dried tomato sauce around the cheese ball and serve with crackers.
