How To Make pesto loaf

• 1

  Line a 1 lb. bread loaf pan (9 x 5) with wax paper; make sure you leave enough on each side to wrap over the top when done.
• 2

  Mix the soften cream cheese with the minced garlic
• 3

  Line the bottom of the pan with 1/3 of the provolone cheese, which is about 7 to 9 slices. Then spread a 1/3 of pesto over the cheese. Next sprinkle 1/2 of diced roasted peppers over the pesto. Finally, spread 1/2 of the garlic cream cheese over the peppers. Make sure the cream cheese is soft so it spreads easily. Don’t worry about what it looks like right now. It will all come together in the end.

  Repeat the above layering, ending with the remaining pesto over the cream cheese and a final layer of provolone cheese on top.
