Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce

  • In a large bowl, with a hand mixer or by hand, combine cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, oregano, and pepper; stir until well blended.
  • Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture onto the bottom of prepared pan (I use wet fingers to spread the cheese). Top with pesto, spreading evenly.
  • Layer with another 1/3 of the cheese mixture.
  • Drain sun-dried tomatoes and finely chop; spread evenly over cheese mixture in pan. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and press gently to pack. Refrigerate overnight.
