I’m not sure if I have mentioned this in the past, but I LOVE goat cheese. (yes, I know, I’m obsessed) Well, when I started thumbing through Tosca Reno’s Clean Eating Books, I discovered a close cousin: Neufchatel. UGH! Is it heavenly!
Although not for the budget eater, this little treasure is a mix between brie and goat cheese (in my mind anyway) – salty but savory! Just the right amount of cheesy resistance (the Baby Bear of cheese consistency you could call it)
Perfect for a snack at work (with a little assembly – it’s been done!) or dressy enough for a schmaltzy brunch – this is a sure fire hit! This recipe is adapted from Miss Tosca herself… Eat it with squeaky love my friends J
