Pear and Goat Cheese Pizza

School has been quite hectic lately (hence the lack of posts).  Anyway, I used pizza dough from Trader Joe's and topped it with tomato sauce, sliced pears, goat cheese, mozzarella, oregano, and parsley.

Goat Cheese

So if you know me, you would know that I love love love goat cheese. For Christmas I received a nice little goat cheese making kit that I was very eager to try. I had to hunt down some goat's milk but once I did, I immediately wanted to try making my own goat cheese!

 The process was fairly simple: heat the milk to 190 degrees, add some citric acid, strain milk in a cheesecloth, put in molds, and wait. It took about 24 hours for the cheese to harden to the consistency I wanted and to develop the tangy, sweet favor.

  

All in all, it was a fun experiment and I definitely recommend it! It tasted great (although I may be biased..)
