Ingredients

  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 jar (8 1/2 ounces) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and well drained
  • 1 container (8 ounces) hummus
  • 1/2 cup chopped seeded unpeeled cucumber
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped and well drained pitted Kalamata or Greek olives
  • Pita bread wedges or toasted baguette slices, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Place cream cheese and feta cheese in food processor. Cover and process until blended. Divide into thirds (about 1 cup each).
  • 2
    Line 5-cup mold or loaf pan, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches, with plastic wrap. Spoon one-third of the cheese mixture in bottom of mold; smooth top with spatula. Spoon tomatoes evenly over cheese layer. Spoon hummus evenly over tomatoes. Sprinkle with cucumber.
  • 3
    Spoon one-third of the cheese mixture over cucumber; smooth top with spatula. Spoon olives evenly over cheese layer. Spoon remaining cheese mixture over olives; smooth top with spatula. Strike filled mold on counter to pack down. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours but no longer than 48 hours.
  • 4
    When ready to serve, turn mold upside down onto serving platter. Remove plastic wrap. Serve torte with pita wedges.

  • Don't be tempted to substitute either fat-free, reduced-fat or soft cream cheese for regular cream cheese in this recipe. Those varieties are softer, so the mixture would not be firm enough to mold.
  • Purchase minced sun-dried tomatoes to eliminate chopping the tomatoes. Make the torte in a disposable loaf pan. Transporting the torte to the party will be easy, and you won't have to worry about bringing the pan home!
