layer cream cheese then pesto then the tomatoes and repeat
fold over the cheese cloth to close off the top and weigh it down while chilling it over night.

Take the weights off and open the cheese cloth turn it out on to a serving dish. Now remove the cheese cloth. Guests may slice off servings with a knife and spread on melba toast or crackers

Aebelskivers

It seems like there are lots of different spelling. This is the way Jason's grandmother form Norway spells it. To search for the pan you will get results spelling it Ebleskiver. Here are two recipies. The first one is Jason's grandmothers and the second one it a Danish one from my brother. They are both very very yummy but I prefer the Danish one because it's a little bit faster for my hungry kids. We have them for breakfast but they could be a desert. Aebleskiver
