English Muffin With Ham, Tomatoes, And Pesto

While Christ presently reigns over human governments, we see how even the best men and women in leadership fail to provide the perfect kingdom. We are primarily citizens of Christ’s kingdom, Philippians 3:20, “For our citizenship is in heaven.” But for the time being, we also dwell in a lesser sense, as citizens among this world too. So we long for the day when Christ will overthrow all these puny human leaders and rightly take to Himself what is rightfully His and reign over His kingdom that is without end (Dan. 2:44) where and when “EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil. 2:10-11; cf. Rev. 7:9-10).

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.
