Easy to make and very tasty. I used Garden Vegetable Philadelphia for a little different flavor.

This was great; everyone loved it! The only thing I would do different is maybe a little less olives. I made this 24 hrs in advance and would recommend that but if you can't do that long, then I think at least 4 hrs. It will be more flavorful the longer it sits.

This is very good and if possible, make the ingredients that go over the cream cheese 6-24 hours the day before. I got a lot of compliments on this and requests for the recipe.

I liked the idea of making a mediterranean spread but it just wasn't what I expected. I followed the instructions but it turned out more like a dip then spread, which is fine but not really impressed by it.

I brought this to a party and got rave reviews. Also, left a bit for my family and they loved it also!

The time line I beleive would be to have the peppers, olive and cheese mixture should set for an hour at least. Also I would add garlic and a bit of mayo to the cream cheese (easy to get on crackers and another layer of flavor)

I'm guessing you are supposed to refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 24 hrs. I am going to make this at the next family party!!

This sounds good, very simple, but a question about the time. What part of it takes an hour to do?
