In - A - Nutshell

- Goat cheese is a key for this recipe. I have tried this recipe with different kinds of cheese - goat cheese wins! It doesn't melt completely, rather becomes soft, very flavorful, it's pudginess calms and transforms into bright umami aftertaste.
- It is one of the few roasted vegetable recipes that takes literally 5 minutes to prepare, requires a very few ingredients and takes just 15 minutes to bake.
- When in a hurry, I use my toaster oven and pop squash, topped with cheese mixture, even without bothering to preheat it - easy breezy.
- If using foil, you can even skip the "favorite" part - washing dishes ;)
- Recipe does not call for salt because combination of light saltiness of cheese mixture and natural sweetness of squash is awesome-est!
