Notes
* ~ Although I love goat cheese, I used to hate it when a recipe called for crumbled goat cheese. It's a fairly soft cheese and instead of crumbling easily it tends to stick to your hands and make a mess. I figured out that if you place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before trying to crumble it, it crumbles quite nicely! Now I love eating AND cooking with goat cheese! ** ~ To toast almonds: preheat oven to 325˚F. Place almonds in a small baking pan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of kosher salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring occasionally.
