(this was the absolute Hit of our office party-gave out the recipe and everyone is making it for New Years.)

Drain olives and toss with Italian salad dressing. Place olives in baking dish and roas olives for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. (Med hot oven) or until slightly charred. Cool and chop. In large bowl, mix and beat pepper, feta, cream cheese, garlic. Fold in olives. Line round, flat dish or pan with plastic wrap. (I used a round tuppeware container.) and firmly press cheese mixture into the dish. Smooth into a large cheese round. Fold ends of plastic wrap over all. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Invert on plate, remove wrap and serve with crackers. You can also cut into four wedges and wrap each and give as gifts. Make 4 cups.
