Hi Allie, This sounds great! I work with Chavrie goat cheese (the pyramid shaped one;) and its great to see a recipe like the one you posted. It's easy, quick and adds that layer of gourmet to a lovely side dish. I do recommend the goat's cheese for this one...It's lower in fat and cholesterol than the cream cheese; it's gluten-free and is completely all-natural making for a great, healthy gourmet side dish! Enjoy!
