You're right...it does sound weird, but I had to try this, being absolutely intrigued by this. Now, remember, I greatly dislike goat cheese, yet I was still intrigued. I made this exactly as posted, using baby spinach, and it was quite tasty (I flicked the goat cheese off mine because I just can't tolerate it). The goat cheese lovers in the house thought this was a nice combination. I will be making this again! Made for Potluck Tag Game.
