    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    You may not have goat cheese on hand or you might not like its flavor so you have a couple of options. You can use the same amount of cream cheese or mascarpone which will retain the creamy texture. If you have some on hand, you could also use some feta cheese though it will alter the overall flavor slightly.
