I don’t mean to brag or toot my horn, but it’s still over 90 degrees in the shade here in Florida, and I am still trying to enjoy spring, Y’all. So it’s not in the cards for lunch to be heavy today. I have a simple, yet fantastic recipe to share with you using Goat Cheese and other fresh ingredients. It’s even husband approved!
Have you ever had Goat’s Cheese? Oh, my gosh, it’s a beautifully smooth, flavorful cheese, it has such a have a unique, slightly tart, earthy flavor that sets them apart from other cheeses. I love to add it to salads, flatbread, sandwiches, pizzas, sauces, pasta dishes, soups, fruits, and even burgers. Yes, I said even burgers Y’all. Deliciously awesome!
I used a natural or plain Goat Cheese in my recipe for Goat Cheese Tomatoes and Prosciutto on Ciabatta. Still, there are a ton of flavors you can incorporate in your recipes such as Garlic and Herb, Blueberry Vanilla, Jalapeno, Cranberry Cinnamon, Honey, Four Pepper, Lemon Zest, Peppadew, Sundried Tomato Basil, Truffle, and even Pumpkin this fall. Trust me. You can have a blast trying all the fabulous flavors that Goat Cheese has to offer.
