Cheese log recipe.

Scott from Oregon is apparently a cheese afficianado like me and asked for my cheese log recipe.

Ingredients

Two 8oz packages of Philly cream cheese

One 3 or 4 oz package of soft goat cheese

4 ounces of raw pine nuts (medium sized package)

1 package of fresh chives garlic or onion or both


Finely chop the chives

Fold all the all the cheeses and chives together in a mixing bowl.

Place bowl in refrigerator for about 15 min so cheese can firm up

Heat a dry skillet on medium low heat and spread pine nuts evenly on bottom of pan.

Toss the pine nuts often. Be sure not to let them burn.

The pine nuts are ready when they turn a light golden brown.

Spread pine nuts on a large plate and roll the cheese over the plate.

When cheese evenly covered with nuts place it on your serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.

If you don't like goat cheese it can be left out, you can also add dried chopped cranberries 0r substitute toasted pecans or crushed walnuts depending on taste.
