I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did because these appetizers were actually really good. I would definitely make them again.

These appetizers were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been a little less creamy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my appetizers didn't turn out as crispy as I expected. They were still good, but not as good as they could have been.

I followed the recipe exactly and the appetizers turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
