The flavors are wonderful- instead of olive oil, I used the oil from the jar of tomatoes. And I agree that the pepper should be cut by half. Thanks Sue L, I will keep this one!

Great snack I made for myself. Subbed sliced almonds, olive bread. Used a tad bit more sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, and a tad less of the salt. Did not find peppery at all. The acidity in a glass of white wine would have gone well with this.. I think. :)

I thought this was WAY WAY WAY too salty. I followed the recipe as directed, so I'm puzzled that no one else has commented about the salt. I love all the ingredients in this, so I'll try next time omitting the salt (and sugar possibly too).

I literally and I mean literally have to stop myself from eating goat cheese everyday. This recipe is no exception. I love this recipe! So easy, creamy, just so tasty. Thank you, thank you Sue L for posting this recipe!

YUM. I love making easy dishes that taste extremely gourmet. This is one! Although, the pepper was a bit much for me. I used walnuts instead of pine nuts and fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried, and added some basil. I added a lot more nuts and tomatoes than the recipe called for and it evened out the peppery taste perfectly. Very, very yummy!!! Thanks!
