Pesto-GoatCheese-Sundried Tom Crostini

4 oz Goat Cheese
1 package Cream Cheese
8 oz pesto
8 oz sun dried tomatoes (in oil)
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 baguette loaves thinly sliced (1/4")

All ingredients should be at room temperature.

1. Mix together goat cheese and cream cheese in small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

2. Drain and finely chop tomatoes. (A food processor makes this much less messy and quick!) Add tomato paste and 2 tbsp of goat cheese mixture and combine completely.

3. Your pesto should be thick. If it is too runny, add more Parmesan cheese so that it matches the consistency of the tomato mixture.

4. Spread thin layer of goat cheese on crostini, followed by a think layer of the pesto.

5. Pipe small flowerettes of the tomato onto the center of the crostini. Be careful with the tomato mixture not to add too much. It has a very powerful flavor and if used in excess can overpower the other flavors.

6. Enjoy! :)
