1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Stick Butter
8 ounces Cream Cheese
1 Clove Garlic,; minced
6 English Muffins; halved
12 slices Deli Baked Ham, Cut To Fit Muffin Halves
12 slices Tomato
4 tablespoons Pesto; * see recipe below

Directions

Remove butter and cream cheese from fridge and allow to soften. Cream together until fluffy. Blend in minced garlic.

Place the muffin halves on a baking sheet. Spead each with a portion of the cheese mixture. Then top each muffin with a slice of ham and a slice of tomato. Spread pesto on top of each tomato, using about 1 tsp. per tomato.

Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of that and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 mintes or unil the cheese has melted and is slightly browned.

*Pesto: 4 cups fresh basil leaves, washed and stripped from stems 4 cloves of garlic

¼ c olive oil

¼ c pine nuts 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese. Blend until a paste forms...you may have to shove it down with a spatula several times in the blender container. A food processor does not do this as well as a blender! Freeze and cut into 1" cubes any left over pesto and serve with pasta.
