So easy and so delicious. I used a bit more pesto and sundried tomatoes instead of a roma. Also made it in a disposable aluminum loaf pan which worked perfectly for the barbecue. Took it to a barbecue party and everybody loved it, they were practically licking the pan clean.

Mmmm, Mmmm, Good! I make a similar dip with salsa, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese and it's always a huge hit so I knew this one would be amazing! I made some homemade pita chips coated with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, ground black pepper, onion/garlic powder, & parmesan cheese to go with ours and it was delish! For those of you who are having trouble with the amount of pesto versus the amount of cream cheese, I have a solution for you. The dip that I make that is similar to this I let my cream cheese soften, then I take a round baking dish lined with foil, put the block in the middle, and spread it around the pan by smashing it with a rubber spatula. Spread your topping on and cover with the cheese and each bite has the same amount of cream cheese and topping. Hope this helps!! :)

AMAZING! Instead of grilling, I just popped it in the microwave for about a minute and a half. I've made it for 2 parties now and everyone LOVES it!!!! Very easy! I served it with roasted garlic Triscuits which was a real hit.

Even though this recipe seems too simple to be true, it is so so good. Takes 5 minutes to make but the result is delicious and gourmet. I made it in the oven and I can't wait to try it on a grill.

This is one of my new favorite appetizers! I had a small crock (about 6" by 4") that I put the cream cheese in and spread it to the edges. I didn't bake it - just put it in the microwave. It was a big hit! I will definitely make it again!

Very easy to assemble and serve - delicious on the plate! I've made this on the grill and in the microwave - both were great but I'd recommend the grill or oven!

Very, very good. We used a little more pesto and baked it in the oven. The only drawback is once the pesto on top is eaten, you are left with a good bit of cream cheese. I think I will slice it, then top it so it goes down into the block.
