I wanted to create something a little lighter for an appetizer. The tomatoes looked pretty good at the store and I had some goat cheese in my refridgerator that I wanted to use before it went bad. The fun of cooking is going to the refridgerator and putting things together. I wanted to soften as well as mellow out the goat cheese just a little so I put it in a sauce pan with maybe a 1/4 cup of low fat 1/2 & 1/2. By softening and then cooling the cheese again, one ends up with a very creamy result.
