Ingredients:
~3 (8 oz.) packages soft goat cheese or cream cheese~1/3 C. chopped parsley or chives
~1/3 C. finely chopped nuts
~2 tbsp. poppy seeds (optional) 2 small button mushrooms
~3-4 broccoli florets
~1 slice from a narrow red bell pepper
Instructions:
1. On your serving platter, form your cheese into a man shape, like that pictured. If the legs and arms are at odd angles, it's gives the impression that he's writhing in pain.
2. Gently press chopped parsley or chives into cheese from the "waist" down to make pants. Make poppy seed "shoes" if desired.
3. Press the finely chopped nuts from the waist to neckline, to make a nut shirt. Leave "hands" bare.
4. Chill until firm, 2-3 hours at least.
5. Decorate the head with button mushrooms for eyes, broccoli hair, and a screaming red pepper mouth.
6. Allow to soften slightly before serving. Surround with your preferred combination of cheese, meats, veggies, and crackers.
