Ingredients:
40 butter flavored crackers ( such as Ritz)
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese or 1 (8 ounce) packages neufchatel cheese, at room temperature
1 (16 ounce) jars marinated sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil ( the kind I tried had Italian seasonings in the oil already)
1 tablespoon italian seasoning (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, shredded, garnish (optional)
Directions:
NOTE: If your sundried tomatoes do not already have Italian seasoned herbs in their oil, you will need to first stir in 1 Tbsp of Italian seasoning blend to your tomatoes, then cover and chill overnight.
Drain off the oil from your tomatoes.
Spread a generous spoonful of cream cheese onto each cracker and top with a strip of marinated sundried tomato.
Place onto a platter and garnish with strips of fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately.
(You may need more or less or any of the ingredients- the Zaar computer only accepts specific amounts, so I have tried to give you a rough guess).
