This copycat recipe for Baked Cream Cheese is so good!

Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer

I love an easy appetizer, something that doesn’t take much to put together and yet the flavor combinations feel like you spent a lot of time making it. We love the baked cream cheese appetizer at the Dodo restaurant in Salt Lake City, and this copycat recipe is so simple and easy to make. The salty sweet flavor combination of the salty warm cream cheese with a slice of a sweet pear is so good. I haven’t stopped thinking about it…so, I had to make it at home. This recipe is pretty straight forward, but the flavors together are pretty amazing.

Ingredients:

1 8oz. package cream cheese cut in half
1 cup soy sauce
toasted sesame seeds
Serve it with:
ripe green apples sliced
ripe green pears sliced
fancy crackers

How to make Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer

Cut the 8oz. block of cream cheese in half. This way you can make two and when the first one is gone you can pull out a brand new one.
Let the cream cheese soften by letting it come to room temperature.
Place the block of cream cheese in a flat bottom plastic bowl. With a knife poke holes in the soft cream cheese and pour soy sauce all over it.
Let the cream cheese soak in the soy sauce. Flip the block of cream cheese over so the soy sauce soaks in on all sides.
Move the block of cream cheese to a new dish with the toasted sesame seeds. Roll the block of cream cheese in the toasted sesame seeds.
You can either buy pre-toasted sesame seeds, or you can toasted them yourself in a dry hot pan.
Preheat oven to 250F. Place the cream cheese in an oven proof serving dish. Right before serving, warm the cream cheese appetizer for a short time in the oven (10-15minutes).
Serve warm. Serve it with sliced green apple, sliced pears and fancy crackers.
