Favorite Appetizer from Trader Joe’s Items:
Goat Cheese with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Basil & Pine Nuts
The magic makers:
Take the goat cheese out of it’s packaging and put it on your party plate.
Chop up the Trader Joe’s Sun Dried Roma Tomatoes. Pour on top of the goat cheese log. A little bit of the oil from the tomatoes makes it soooo yummy & flavorful.
Top with pine nuts and sprinkles of chopped basil. Add some salt & pepper.
And then you have a wonderful appetizer. It’s just soo easy & convenient!
It works well with sliced up crostini or crackers. This went really fast last night! If by chance you have leftovers, toss it all in a food processor and you have a tasty pink goat cheese spread. It’s a great way to recycle a good thing.
Here’s your shopping list:
- 1 log of goat cheese
- 1 jar of sun-dried roma tomatoes
- 1 handful of pine nuts
- a small handful of chopped up basil
