4 ounces soft goat cheese, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
5 cloves roasted garlic, peeled, mashed
6 fresh basil leaves, torn in tiny pieces
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, thinly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 28-ounce can diced plum tomatoes

1
Mash the goat cheese and cream cheese together with a wooden spoon.
2
Work in the roasted garlic, basil, and thyme. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Refrigerate this mixture at least 1 hour.
3
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium-size skillet. Add the onion and minced garlic and saute over medium heat until they are tender but not brown. Stir in the tomatoes, breaking them up with a fork. Cook, uncovered, over very low heat about 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very soft. Season with salt and pepper and add the pinch of sugar. Remove from the heat and place the whole basil leaves on top. (you may refrigerate for up to 2 days until ready to serve. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer before resuming the recipe)

To serve, place about the cheese mixture in a mound in a shallow serving dish. Spoon the warm tomato sauce over and around the cheese and serve with the crackers and bread slices.
