Small Bites~ Goat Cheese

Our challenge for week #5 of Sunday Small Bites is ... Goat Cheese. I love the sharp, creamy flavor of goat cheese.

This recipe is from the il de France cheese site. I was excited when I found it... it looked perfect for the WhistleStop Cafe kitchen.

Grilled Green Tomatoes with Goat Cheese
4 green tomatoes
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 Tbs lime juice
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbs fresh cilantro
6 oz goat cheese
2 slices bacon crumbled
Salt and pepper

Prepare the grill for medium hot fire. In a shallow bowl combine Olive Oil, lime juice, cilantro and spices and stir until well blended. Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices, dip into Olive Oil mixture and place on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes, turn and top with goat cheese. Cook another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt. Transfer to a platter and top with remaining dressing, bacon, and cilantro. Next time, I would combine some of the Olive Oil with the goat cheese. The flavor is great... but I thought the dressing drizzled on top left the tomatoes mushy.

Now, let's see what small bites we get from the other 'nibblers'. Leave your link on Mr Mcklinky. Y'all enjoy!
