Default Sun Dried Tomato & Olive Pate (tamponade)

If I have to go to something and bring food, this is what I always take.
Sun Dried Tomato & Olive Pate (tamponade)
Makes 2 cups
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup minced black olive (I use Kalamara Olives but I have also used plain black in a pinch)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove of garlic
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme and salt in a food processor container. Process until mixed, scraping side of container occasionally. Add olives, process just until mixed. I use a small, decorative jello mold sprayed with *Pam Chill for at least 4 hours. Invert onto serving platter. Serve with Kashi or other brand sun-dried tomato crackers
Chill, covered, for 4 hours or longer.
