1 log Deli goat cheese (8-10 oz)
1 (8-oz) container Deli cranberry-orange relish

Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F. Chop almonds and rosemary; combine and place on a plate (reserve 1 tablespoon).
Roll cheese in almond mixture; place in small baking dish or center of pie plate. Combine relish and glaze until blended; pour around cheese and sprinkle with reserved nut mixture. Bake 20–25 minutes or until cheese is hot and very soft. Serve with baguette slices or pita chips.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place baguette slices on baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Chop almonds and rosemary. Combine relish and glaze until blended. Spread about 1 tablespoon cheese on bread; top with relish mixture. Sprinkle with nuts and rosemary. Bake 5–6 min or until warm and toasted. Can also be served without baking.
