This was so good! I will definitely make again. The tart/sweet of apples with goat cheese was a very pleasant surprise. Thanks for the recipe!

This is delicious! I wanted to try it because goat cheese is one of my favorite things to put in omelets, but my idea of an accompanying filling usually runs more to spinach or potatoes. Apple never occurred to me. What a great combination of flavors. I used a Granny Smith apple, as recommended, and suggest keeping to that - it retained some of its crunch and tartness, yum. I used a whole apple and 2 ounces of goat cheese and it was fine.
