One of my go to appetizers that never lets me or the guests down is a Herb-Cheese Spread that is made with Havarti. I have to admit that the hubby and I have actually had it for dinner before, although I wouldn't recommend unless you can handle a stomachache :). Enjoy!
Herb-Cheese Spread1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I use whole grain mustard)
1 (12-oz) package Havarti cheese (I have a hard time finding 12-oz so usually just go with the largest I can find)
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon freeze-dried chives
1/4 teaspoon dried whole dillweed
1/4 teaspoon dried whole basil
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 (17 1/3 -oz) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
Spread mustard over top of cheese; sprinkle with parsley flakes and next 4 ingredients (I usually just mix all herbs together and then sprinkle). Place cheese, mustard side down, in center of pastry. Wrap package style, trimming excess pastry. Seal seam. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg; chill 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes; brush with egg, and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with assorted crackers (I really like water crackers with it) or sliced apples or pears. Yield: 8 to 10 appetizer servings.
