Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, herbs, green onion, garlic, pimentos, sugar, and salt. Mix to combine, then set aside.
- Cut your block of cheddar cheese and block of cream cheese in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices to form squares. I got about 30 squares out of each block of cheese.
- Arrange the cheeses in a shallow baking dish, alternating between the two varieties as you go. Once arranged, pour the marinade evenly over top.
- Cover the dish with foil or cling wrap and transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
