Goat Cheese Spread

I have been making this recipe for years and have found out that you can freeze it. I make it in smaller containers and put them in the freezer and remove when I need and appetizer for a party or just for us on a football Sunday afternoon.

This is a keeper and often on our "please bring" request list. Easy to substitute other types of pesto, herbs, or as I did last week, to use up an open container of roasted red peppers. I've also made this recipe in mini loaf pans. The platter always winds up empty!

I served this during the holidays and again this week - it is always the hit of the party! Guests ask for the recipe - best made the night before and very easy! I have used both fresh and dried oregano and both work great.

I wanted something savory for my morning bagel, not a party dish, so I mixed the pesto into the whole shmear, topped with chopped roasted red peppers after spreading on the bagel and skipped the layering part--it's just fantastic! I'm going to prepare as directed for thanksgiving hors d'oeuvres. I know my family and friends will rave over this one!

Makes a nice presentation. Everyone enjoyed it and it is addictive.

I too have been making this appetizer for years ! It's always receiving compliments and requests for the recipe. Great blend of flavors. The sun dried tomatoes can get pricey, but it makes a good portion.
