Instructions

Lightly grease a medium-sized bowl or gelatin mold with oil, then line with plastic wrap, ensuring easy removal of the dip later.
In a food processor, combine feta cheese, softened butter, cream cheese, garlic, shallot, vermouth, and white pepper; blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Layer the ingredients into the prepared mold in the following order: Use half of the pesto, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese mixture for the first layer. Repeat these layers once more. Gently press down to compact the ingredients into the mold, and then refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
Invert the dip onto a serving plate, carefully remove the plastic wrap, and it's ready to be served.
