I originally saw this recipe in Bon AppÃ©tit, November 2001. Thought this looked really good, but sorry I really did not enjoy these. I love goat cheese, but for some reason the taste was a little off for me. If I make these again I will cover them while baking, mine came out a bit dry. Epicurious.com gave this recipe good review, so please donâ€™t let my review detour you from trying this recipe.
