Salsa Baked Goat Cheese

• 1/4 1/4 cup walnuts or 1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 4 ounces plain goat cheese (or you can just use more cream cheese)
• 1 cup salsa (your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
• pita bread rounds or crisp toast

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and very fragrant, 7-8 minutes should do it.
3. Transfer to a medium bowl Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts.
4. Scoop the cheese mixture into the center of a baking dish, such as a decorative 9" pie plate, and form into a 5" disk.
5. Spoon te salsa over and around the cheese.
6. Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
7. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve as a dip or a spread with tortilla chips or other crisps*Note: if the salsa is very chunky, you may want to strain it or chop it in a food processor so the pieces won't fall off the chips.
8. Also, really good if the chips are heated!
