This is excellent and a nice change from the usual cheese spread. The only change I made was to use roasted red peppers instead of sun dried tomatoes. I spread the cheese onto the bottom of a glass pie plate instead of slicing it because it was crumbling when I tried to slice it. I might try some chopped artichoke hearts on it at some point. Everyone loved it.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but made this recipe primarily for my other half who managed to consume a good portion of it during an evening with company! I was happy that the other three enjoyed it, too, & it was gone well before our guests were! Can't quibble with that kind of praise, so I now have another keeper of a recipe for my finger food counter! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a recipenap in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 16]

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
