Lately we have really cut back on meat in our house. We have several reasons for doing so that I won't bore you with; however last night I was really craving a good burger and I wanted it with cheese - Goat Cheese!
First lets talk about Goat Cheese...here are some facts:
1. Compared to cow's milk products (ie. cream cheese), goat cheese is lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories.
2. It has a full, rich and creamy flavor
3. Made from pasteurized goat's milk it has a low lactose content and is easy to digest.
4. Goat Cheese comes in all forms: crumbled, soft spread, even slices!
Here is the recipe I ended up making for dinner. I used 1 lb of elk meat that my dad had stocked our freezer with after his hunting trip to Montana last fall. I adapted this recipe from Erika Smith - to see her original recipe click HERE.
