This Festive Holiday Antipasto Cream Cheese Log is a delicious, no-fuss appetizer that brings bold antipasto flavors to your holiday table. Cream cheese is blended with roasted red peppers, olives, artichokes, and Parmesan, then coated in parsley for a beautiful presentation. Serve it with crackers or veggie sticks for a crowd-pleasing dish that’s as festive as it is tasty.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped and drained
  • 1/3 cup green and black olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped (for coating)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs and cranberries (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, roasted red peppers, olives, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log.
  • Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  • Spread the chopped parsley on a large plate. Unwrap the chilled cheese log and roll it in the parsley, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  • Transfer the cheese log to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and cranberries for a festive touch.
  • Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
  • Pat roasted red peppers, olives, and artichokes dry to avoid excess moisture in the log.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating sun-dried tomatoes or a pinch of red chili flakes.
  • Can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance; keep refrigerated until serving.
