Preparation:

Rub a small amount of oil on the inside of a terrine mold, or container of your choice. Line the mold with plastic wrap. With an electric mixer, whip 1 pound butter. Add the three cheeses and mix well. Combine the ground, toasted pine nuts with the 4 tablespoons of butter and pat on the bottom of the mold. Spread one third of the butter-cheese mix on top. Next, place the roasted peppers on top and carefully brush butter on top. Place half of remaining butter-cheese mix over the peppers. In a food processor, purée the sundried tomatoes and basil; spread on top forming another layer. Brush tomato-basil layer with softened butter. Spread remainder of butter-cheese mix: top with Kalamata olives and marinated garlic. Brush with butter. Refrigerate for several hours until firm. To serve, slice and serve with bread or crackers.
