A great spread that wins raves at potlucks and dinner parties. Rich and flavourful, it's perfect served with toasted pita chips, whole grain crackers or grilled bread. Thanks to my co-worker Melanie for the AWESOME recipe! Note that 1/2 cup of pesto can be substituted for the fresh herbs - it saves time and waste if you don't have a use for the rest of the herbs! Pastica has made this recipe numerous times and it is always a crowd pleaser.8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, sliced

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, sliced

1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
