Instructions

Notes

*Leftover sundried tomato oil can be used for dressings, frying oil or eaten with bread
**While the spread was baking, I used my grill pan and grilled my bread
***Optionally, you can place the goat cheese right on top of the sundried tomato mixture if you are planning on serving from that dish.
