Fantastic! The cream cheese mellows the goat cheese just the tiniest bit, which really allows the pesto and sundried tomatoes to come through. I divided mine between two small bowls to make them a little more manageable size, but didn't have quite enough tomatoes to finish the job, so I used roasted red peppers in one. Both were delightful. I'll be making this one again and again. -
This one gets 10 STARS!!! Very easy and so delicious. I am not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, but loved them in this. My only regret is I cut the recipe in half, for a small group. It was the hit of the night and was gone too soon!. Made for Spring 2010 PAC.
