Ingredients
2 packages cream cheese
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup Kalamata olives
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
3. Fold in the chopped tomatoes, olives, red peppers, and parsley until evenly incorporated.
4. Place the mixture onto plastic wrap, shape into a log, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
5. Unwrap and roll in extra herbs or antipasto toppings before serving. Serve chilled with crackers or vegetables.
Notes
Let cream cheese soften at room temp before mixing.
Use a sharp knife to dice antipasto mix-ins evenly.
Chill longer for a firmer texture and easier slicing.
