Susan Hattie's Goat Cheese Torta
A specialty of the late Susan Hattie Steinsapir
For Susan's other recipes, see her page at http://www.andreas.com/susan.html
6 oz goat cheese
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 or more cloves garlic (to taste)
about 1/2 cup pesto
about 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (oil-marinated kind).
Note from clb: I generally make a larger one with 10-11 oz goat cheese
and 8 oz cream cheese since I can reliably buy those sizes cheese :-)
1. Mix cheeses together in bowl. Smoosh or mince garlic and add it.
2. Drain and chop tomatoes fine (add a little of the marinade to make
'em stick together).
(Another note from CLB: I usually blot them with a paper towel to remove
most of the oil.)
To assemble:
Line a medium bowl with plastic wrap or cheesecloth.
Put waxed paper or plastic wrap on a counter or cutting board and form a
circle of cheese on it with a spatula. Invert layer into bowl.
Put a layer of tomato or pesto on the cheese.
Make another cheese layer and invert into bowl.
Put a layer of pesto or tomato on that layer and cover it with another
round of cheese.
Chill for two hours or so and serve with crackers and/or baguette
slices. Fresh herbs are nice as a garnish. Even better the next day if
not inhaled the first :-)
