Goat Cheese Torta

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Very nice. Liked the goat cheese added.

    3 Things ... used a herb cream cheese vs adding dried oregano to the cheese, and didn't add any garlic, but did add the pepper.

    I made my own pesto (store bought is fine, I just had plenty of herbs so I wanted to use them, so I had extra garlic in mine which is why I didn't add garlic to the cheese mix)

    And, I love pine nuts and didn't put any in my pesto so I had some on had and decided to use it. I rough chopped, very rough chopped and toasted until golden brown and actually put a small layer of nuts in between the pesto and sundried layer. Then I garnished as well.

    Fresh parsley sprig was my garnish.

    None left, so, good. The goat cheese was a nice addition. used a loaf pan.

    Draining the pesto a bit and the tomatoes is key to get a pretty layered effect.

    It comes out perfect! I served as suggested, baguettes or crackers, used both and bread sticks too. The kids love the small bread sticks. Just pretty!
