1 large package Cream Cheese

1/4 Cup unsalted butter

1 small garlic clove, minced

1/8 teaspoon pepper.

1/4 Cup shelled, roasted and salted Pistachios or Pine Nuts

Directions

Slightly overlapping slices, cover bottom and about 2 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan with about half the cheese.

Divide remainging Provolone into 3 equal portions and set aside.

Smoothly spread 1/2 Pesto (below) over Provolone in pan bottom.

Overlapping slices, cover pesto with 1/3 of remaing Provolone.

Over tomatoes, smoothly spread Garlic Cream (below) , then sprinkle with remaining tomatoes.

Cover tomatoes with another 1/3 cheese.

Spread remaining pesto over cheese

Lay remaining cheese on the pesto.

Fold cloth over the loaf and press loaf with your hands to compact lightly.

Chill loaf until feels firm when pressed (about 2 hours).

Fold back cloth, invert loaf pan on a serving dish, ease out terrine, then gently remove cheesecloth.

Garnish with basil sprigs and a few pistachios.

Cut off portions to eat on toast, or cut 1/2 inch slices to present on salad paltes and eat with a fork

I love making terrines and this sounds like a great one. My terrine pan has gotten quite a workout - mostly from baked terrines. This one will be a welcome change.
