Ingredients

1 cup loosely packed spinach leaves, coarsely chopped

1 cup loosely packed fresh basil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup (3 ounces) freshly grated parmesan cheese

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

4 ounces soft goat cheese (such as montrachet) room temperature

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/4 cup thinly sliced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, well drained

Assorted crackers and breads.

Instructions:

Line 3-cup bowl with plastic wrap, leaving 4-inch overhang.

Combine spinach, basil and garlic in processor and chop finely. With machine running, gradually add oil through feed tube. Add parmesan and process until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir cream cheese and goat cheese in a medium bowl until well blended. Spread 1/3 of cream cheese mixture in bottom of prepared bowl. Spread 1/2 of spinach mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle with half of the walnuts. Arrange 1/2 of the tomatoes over. Drop 1/3 of cream cheese mixture by spoonfuls over tomatoes. Carefully spread to cover evenly.
