This is wonderful with beer, margarita's, whatever else you're serving. This dip/spread is quick, easy and delectable! Ingredients:
1/4 cup pine nuts or 1/4 cup walnuts or 1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
4 ounces plain goat cheese (or you can just use more cream cheese) |
1 cup salsa (your favorite) |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish |
tortilla chips or pita bread rounds or crisp toast |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and very fragrant, 7-8 minutes should do it.
3. Transfer to a medium bowl Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts.
4. Scoop the cheese mixture into the center of a baking dish, such as a decorative 9 pie plate, and form into a 5 disk.
5. Spoon te salsa over and around the cheese.
6. Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
7. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve as a dip or a spread with tortilla chips or other crisps*Note: if the salsa is very chunky, you may want to strain it or chop it in a food processor so the pieces won't fall off the chips.
8. Also, really good if the chips are heated!
