Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 4 oz Goat cheese
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Pecan halves (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Assorted crackers or baguette slices (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and unsalted butter. Let the ingredients sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the cheeses and butter together until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh parsley, basil, chives, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Line a 6-inch springform pan or bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to fully cover the top of the torta later.

Step 5

Spoon half of the cheese mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Make sure to press it down firmly to minimize air pockets.

Step 6

Sprinkle a thin layer of fresh parsley or additional herbs on top of the first cheese layer (optional for an added burst of flavor).

Step 7

Spread the remaining cheese mixture on top, smooth it evenly, and press down firmly again.

Step 8

Fold the plastic wrap over the top to cover the torta, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 9

When ready to serve, carefully remove the torta from the pan using the plastic wrap. Flip it onto a serving plate and peel away the plastic.

Step 10

If desired, garnish the top with pecan halves and some additional chopped herbs for presentation.

Step 11

Serve with assorted crackers or baguette slices for dipping and spreading.
