Wasabi Cream Cheese Appetizer

8 oz block cream cheese

wasabi (in tube)

soy sauce

toasted sesame seeds

poppy seeds

sesame crackers

Slice cream cheese in half and spread wasabi paste on top of one half. Put other half back on and coat in sesame seed/poppy seed mixture. Place in serving dish and pour soy sauce around it. Serve with sesame crackers and enjoy!

Wasabi "packs a punch"...LOVE it!! The cream cheese will slice easier if you put it in the freezer for a bit...20 minutes or so.
