Gorgonzola & Walnut Terrine
(Sandra Peters, from Central Market Cooking School)

1 cup walnuts, toasted
3/4 pound Gorgonzola, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 pound goat cheese, softened
1/2 cup chives, minced
Salt & pepper
Toasted baguette slices, crackers, carrots, radishes, or celery for serving

In a food processor, combine the Gorgonzola and 5 oz. of the cream cheese. Puree until smooth.

In a separate bowl, blend the goat cheese with the

remaining cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the
chives. Season with salt and pepper.

In a terrine or loaf mold lined with plastic wrap, sprinkle 1/3 of the walnuts on the bottom. Spread half of the Gorgonzola mixture. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the walnuts and 3 tablespoons of the chives. Spread the goat cheese on next. Top with the remaining walnuts and chives. Top with the remaining Gorgonzola mixture. Cover with the plastic wrap and press lightly on the mold. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.

Unmold the terrine, slice it while it is still cold, and then let come to room temperature to serve.
