English Muffin With Ham, Tomatoes, And Pesto

Do you believe? 'I believe,' says one, and he begins to repeat what they call the 'Apostles’ Creed.' Hold your tongue, sir! That matters not; the devil believes that, perhaps more intelligently than you do; he believes and trembles. That kind of believing saves no man. You may believe the most orthodox creed in Christendom, and perish. Do you trust - for that is the cream of the word 'believe' - do you trust in Jesus? Do you lean your whole weight on Him? Have you that faith which the Puritans used to call 'recumbency' or 'leaning'? This is the faith that saves - faith that falls back into the arms of Jesus, a faith that drops from its own hanging-place into those mighty arms.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove butter and cream cheese from fridge and allow to soften. Cream
together until fluffy. Blend in minced garlic.  Place the muffin halves
on a baking sheet. Spead each with a portion  of the cheese mixture.
Then top each muffin with a slice of ham and a  slice of tomato. Spread
pesto on top of each tomato, using about 1  tsp. per tomato. Place a
dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of  that and bake at 400
degrees for about 20 mintes or unil the cheese  has melted and is
slightly browned.  *Pesto: 4 cups fresh basil leaves, washed and
stripped from stems 4  cloves of garlic 1/4 c  olive oil 1/4 c  pine
nuts 1 cup freshly  grated parmesan cheese. Blend until a paste
forms...you may have to  shove it down with a spatula several times in
the blender container.  A food processor does not do this as well as a
blender! Freeze and  cut into 1" cubes any left over pesto and serve
with pasta.
