Easy Pesto Appetizer

This is a borrowed recipe from a culinary professor (acquaintance/friend) who did an Uppercase Living Party for me last week. I had my own open house tonight and since it was so easy and delicious at her party I figured a repeat for mine would be good! I seriously had a very hard time walking away from the dish during the evening~

3 ingredients:

1 1/2 bars cream cheese ( I used 1/3 fat)
1 jar pesto
1 1/2 cans petite chopped tomatoes (or you could use fresh in season!)

Spread cream cheese in bottom of 9x13 glass pan or corning ware dish
Spread pesto to cover (you don't have to use the whole jar)
Spread chopped tomatoes over top to cover (I did not go to the edges)

Bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly

Serve with any cracker variety you like. I used the Pretzel Thin Crisps from Costco. YUM!

*You could certainly adjust/downsize this recipe to fit a smaller pan if needed.
