Goat Cheese Sauce

I love goat cheese.  LOVE goat cheese.  I saw on Pinterest a recipe for eggplant parmesan slices with goat cheese sandwiched in between.  It looked delish.  I was going to try it tonight, but hubby is working late and I needed something that didn't need last-minute assembling.  So I thought a sauce.  To drizzle over it?  Or to dip it into?  Yep, a sauce.  A creamy, tangy goat cheese sauce.  YUM!

Goat Cheese Sauce


Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon Smart Balance
• 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
• 1 cup evaporated skim milk
• 1 (5 oz.) log of goat cheese, cubed or crumbled
• pinch of thyme
• dash of Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic
• dash of Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt

Directions:

• In a small pot, whisk together the Smart Balance and flour over medium heat for about 30 seconds to make a roux.  Add the evaporated skim milk and continue whisking to dissolve any lumps from the roux.  Once the milk barely begins to simmer, whisk in the crumbled goat cheese, thyme, TSGG and TSSS.  Keep whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.  If you like it thinner you can add a little more milk.  Serve spooned over food (eggplant parmesan discs, baked chicken breasts, steamed broccoli, etc.) or as a dipping sauce.
