This spooky cheese ball mimics a brain with a pesto base and feta swirls, surrounded by a tangy sun-dried tomato sauce. It's easy to make with a food processor and perfect for dipping with crackers. Your guests will love the savory, creamy flavors and the ghoulish presentation.

Directions

In a food processor, combine one package of softened cream cheese with the crumbled feta cheese. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Spoon the mixture into a plastic bag and refrigerate.

Add the remaining cream cheese, grated Parmesan, and pesto sauce to the food processor (no need to clean). Process until well blended. Add the toasted pine nuts and pulse a few times to mix. Transfer the mixture to a bowl lined with plastic wrap, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

In the food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, water, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Process until smooth. Set aside.

Unwrap the chilled pesto cheese ball and place it on a serving plate. Gently shape it into an oval. Cut a small corner off the bag of feta mixture and pipe it onto the pesto ball in a twisting brain-like pattern. Spoon the sun-dried tomato sauce around the cheese ball and serve with crackers.
