Mini Goat Cheesecakes, These are touted as an appetizer, but I loved them on top of a simple green salad From Sara Moulton Cooks At Home Prep/Cook times do not include time for toasting walnuts , Delicious recipe! I only had light cream cheese and regular bread crumbs, so I made this recipe with those slight ingredient changes Perhaps because I didn’t have fresh bread crumbs, my crust needed an extra tablespoon of melted butter, and didn’t hold together well when I removed the cakes from the tins However, I just sprinkled the crust left in the tins over the cakes The taste and texture were just delicious, and they looked as good as they tasted I served them with a bunch of seedless red grapes, and four of us just devoured them as an appetizer I LOVE this, and will make again When I do, I’ll really start tinkering, and maybe use olive oil in the bread crumb/walnut mix instead of butter, maybe even adding some garlic powder to it used plain goat cheese this time, but will probably try some of the herbed or peppered cheeses next time Extraordinarily good – thanks, s kat!, These are touted as an appetizer, but I loved them on top of a simple green salad From Sara Moulton Cooks At Home Prep/Cook times do not include time for toasting walnuts
