Ingredients
3/4 cup olive oil
½ cup white wine vinegar
8 oz roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
3 green onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon black pepper
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, chilled
2 (8 oz) blocks mozzarella

How to Make Marinated Cheese Plate
Place cream cheese in freezer while you prep other ingredients. It will slice best when cold!
In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, red pepper, green onions, garlic, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk mixture until fully blended.
Slice cheddar and mozzarella cheese into small squares about a ¼ inch thick. Remove cream cheese from freezer and slice into similar sized squares.
In a 11×7-inch baking dish, line up cheese slices alternating the mozzarella with the cheddar and cream cheese until the dish is full.
Whisk the marinade again if need be, then pour it over the cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 5 hours or up to overnight.
Serve with crackers, pretzels, or toasted bread.
