Instructions: Line a 6-inch flowerpot or an 8-cup mold with a piece of dry cheesecloth.

Smooth out the surface and drape the excess over the side.

Cream the cream cheese and goat cheese in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Reserve a small amount of the cheese mixture.

Layer the remaining cheese mixture, basil pesto, cheese mixture and tomato pesto alternately in the prepared flowerpot until all the ingredients are used. Top with the reserved cheese mixture.

Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top, pressing firmly. Chill for 2 hours.

Invert onto a serving dish; remove the cheesecloth gently.

Arrange the pine nuts in a circle on top of the cheese layer. Garnish with a sprig of basil in the center.

Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables.

Note:
Layers of goat cheese and pesto make a dramatic presentation for a party centerpiece.
