Analysis:
This recipe is one of our favorites. This is the first time we've tried it with goat cheese--and I think it will be our last. We like the flavor of goat cheese, but blue cheese holds up much better on the grill. Or next time we'll not mix in the goat cheese, we'll put it on top during the last few minutes of cooking. The husband also recommended an egg--but that will add cholesterol to a recipe that is already heavy on the cholesterol. In honesty, I could make a whole meal of the grilled zucchini, but I think the 11-year-old would revolt!
