My friend and co-worker, Misti, makes this beautiful dish each uear for the faculty. She serves it in a candy cane shaped dish (can we say “envy”), and it is always gone quickly. I’ll be making it again this year for our Christmas Eve family time. I just know you will love it as much as well do. It’s so easy and can be prepared ahead of time which is always a good thing.

1/2 cup olive oil

I love cheese and this sounds really good. I can’t wait to give it a try. I will have to make this the next time my family gets together for a movie night.
