Preparation

In a bowl, combine Canadian Cream cheese, Aged Cheddar cheese, olives, red bell peppers, chives, rosemary and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place a large sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Spread cheese mixture on wrap, enclose and roll to form a cylinder. Twist plastic wrap ends in opposite directions until mixture is as compacted as possible.

Freeze for at least 2 hrs or until terrine can be cut easily into slices. Use a serrated knife to cut. Slice terrine, preferably while frozen, and serve as canapés on whole-grain crackers or vegetables, or as a first course along with a salad.
