Baked Salsa & Goat Cheese
Serves 4-6
1/4 C pine nuts or coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
1 four oz. log goat cheese
3 oz cream cheese
1 C Chachies Salsa (Roasted Garlic tastes best here)
1T + chopped cilantro
Heat oven to 350. Toast pine nuts on a baking sheet until lightly browned. Be careful to watch them, they burn easily. Take them out and place in a medium size bowl.
Add the cheeses to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Place mixture into the center of a 9-inch pie plate and form into a 5-inch diameter disk. Spoon the Chachies Salsa on top and around the cheese mixture.
Place the pie plate in the oven and bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with cilantro sprigs.
Serve with tortilla chips, as a dip. Serve with small slices of a French baguette, as a spread.
