GOAT CHEESE TART WITH SUN_DRIED TOMATOES

Category: GREAT VEGETARIAN MAIN COURSES

I like goat cheese, be careful the kinds you buy, some has a stronger taste than others. You'll be looking for a soft unripened cheese called Chevre. I like the kind that comes in the pyramid with the flat top. If you can't find it at your mega mart, substitute ricotta cheese
