Goat Cheese Pesto and Sundried Tomato Spread

So Last night for my brothers birthday my mom made this and I forgot just how delicious it is!  It is so elegant and so simple to make (but don’t tell people that!)  So I thought id share it with you.  And I finally got a picture! ( I can’t take credit for the picture I found it online, but it looks exactly the same!)

Goat Cheese Pesto and Sun-dried Tomato Spread

             10 oz. goat cheese

·         ~10 oz cream cheese

·         ¼ C pesto  

·         1/2  C sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

·         ¼ C cup pine nuts, coarsely chopped

Line the inside of small bowl (roughly 4-5 inches across the top) with plastic wrap.  In a mixing bowl, mix the goat cheese and cream cheese and season with a little salt and pepper; add more cream cheese if too liquidy.  Spoon about 1/3 of the cheese into the lined bowl and flatten the top.  Add the pesto for the second layer (use all).  Add another layer of cheese for the third layer.  And then top that with the sun-dried tomatoes.  Top with the remaining cheese. Pack down and chill covered for at least 30 mins to up to 2 days. 

About 30 mins before serving, take the bowl out of the fridge unwrap it and flip it upside down onto a plate.  Top the (once last) now top layer of cheese with pine nuts.  Serve with a fresh baguette or crackers!
