I'm really disappointed with this recipe. It was so easy to follow, but the results were terrible. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm giving this recipe one star because it was a complete waste of time and ingredients. The napoleons were inedible.

These Grilled Vegetable and Goat Cheese Napoleons were a disaster. The phyllo dough was too thick and the vegetables were undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my napoleons didn't turn out as crispy as I expected. They were still tasty, but they were a bit soggy.

I accidentally overcooked the vegetables, but the napoleons still turned out great. The goat cheese helped to balance out the slightly charred flavor.

I had a hard time finding phyllo dough at my local grocery store. I ended up using puff pastry instead, and it worked out just fine.

These napoleons were a little too rich for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less goat cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed these napoleons. The flavors were well-balanced and the phyllo dough was perfectly crispy.
