GOAT CHEESE SPREAD WITH BASIL

Ingredients:

1/2 lb cream cheese
1/2 lb goat cheese
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
1 cup packed basil leaves, stemmed and chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine the cheeses, garlic and pepper flakes in a large bowl. Prior to serving, add basil and nuts. Mix and season to taste. Serve at room temperature with crackers (melba toast is particularly good) or use the spread to stuff cherry tomatoes. This also makes an attractive appetizer when spread on thin slices of ham, rolled, chilled and cut into pinwheels. Makes 1lb.
