Goat cheese is great for anyone who is lactose intolerant. So we would like to present three goat cheese recipes for you to try and enjoy. These are NOT our original recipes.

ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE ROLL UPS RECIPE
Make these ahead, refrigerate them if you like, and broil them briefly before serving. Serve with a first-course green salad or as a side to grilled meat, or as part of an antipasto. Yields 8 to 10 roll ups.

3 oz. goat cheese, at room temperature1/8 tsp. kosher salt1 Tbs. finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, well drained1 tsp. olive oil Heaping 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped3 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick lengthwise strips grilled2 Tbs. freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

Directions:
In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, salt, sun-dried tomatoes, oil, and thyme. Spread 1 heaping tsp. of the filling thinly over one side of each grilled zucchini strip (use a mini spatula or your fingers to spread). Roll up the zucchini (not too tightly; this is more like folding), and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Refrigerate if not using within an hour, but bring back to room temperature before broiling. Heat the broiler. Sprinkle with a little grated Parmigiano and brown goat cheese the-broiler, about 1 min.
