1 cup cottage cheese, drained
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
3 tbsps. Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated quickmelt cheese
3 tbsps. finely chopped dried fruits (cranberries, raisins or apricot)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tbsps. chopped parsley
extra chopped parsley
extra cheese
Using a mixer, blend all cheeses and butter together on low speed until smooth. Fold in chopped dried fruits, nuts and parsley. Use an 8-inch long sheet of Glad cook n bake, place approximately 3/4 cup of cheese mixture in the middle of the sheet. Fold paper and, using your palm, lightly press the mixture towards you to form a log. Roll the paper until desired thickness is achieved. Secure both ends by twisting simultaneously like wrapping a candy. Chill the cheese logs until firm. Unwrap the logs, roll in extra chopped parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with toasted bread or crackers as a spread or over a freshly grilled steak, chicken or pork.
