Ingredients
  

  • 11 ounces goat cheese
  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic oil
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary minced fresh
  • 1 teaspoon thyme minced fresh
  • 1 clove garlic roasted
  • 1 jar 8.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil, diced (See instructions)

  • Toast pignoli nuts in a dry, small sauté pan until lightly browned. Set aside.
