11 ounces Goat Cheese Softened
8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
1 cup Harissa Sauce Jarred, many spice levels available – mild used in this recipe
1 cup Grape Tomatoes Quartered
2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Minced
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Minced
Kosher Salt To taste
Black Pepper To taste
1 French Baguette Thinly sliced on the diagonal

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium size bowl, stir together goat cheese and cream cheese.
Spread mixture in the center of a small baking dish or 8-inch cast iron skillet. Spoon Harissa around the edges of the cheese and top with the tomatoes.
Bake cheese for 15-20 minutes or until hot and soft. The Harissa will be fragrant and bubbling. Remove cheese from oven and sprinkle with herbs, a pinch of kosher salt, and pepper. Keep warm.
Turn on broiler. Line sliced bread onto a baking sheet and place under broiler for about 1 minute or until toasted. Watch carefully as to not burn. Serve toasted bread with baked goat cheese.
