Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Mixed the sundried tomatoes and pine nuts in with the cheese. Spread on toasted bread wedges and then spread with a thin layer of pesto.
p.s. I followed CDkitchen's advice and only layered it all once. Twice would be nice but I agree that there wasn't enough for that in a 9-inch pan.

Just tried this last night. It is amazing! The cheese layer is very creamy and the tomato-pesto is a nice contrast. VERY impressive dish indeed!

We really enjoyed this dip. Very easy to put together and everyone liked the flavors. The only thing was that there wasn't really any way to layer the ingredients twice. There just wasn't enough of the tomatoes, pine nuts, and pesto to create two layers. There was enough of the cheese mix. I ended up just doing one layer and thought it turned out great that way.
