Bricks with goat fresh goat cheese, apple, dried figs and nuts

Something fresh in our plates with these brick with fresh goat cheese, apple, dried figs and nuts together with a little green salad of course. After this food marathon for our liver and stomac, christmas, new year, epiphany and soon “crêpes” … I have to admit that I can’t take it anymore.

Looking like a gigantic ball. Yes, I will soon have my little girl. I am writing from my couch like a beached whale … or whatever large animal with huge difficulties to move … So even if this is maybe the only time of my life where I am almost allowed to gain weight, I am trying to limit the madness.

Anyway I am not proposing you a diet dish today, but I am not trying to loose weight either :-).

Goat cheese, the cheese that’s saved my life these last few months, as Roquefort had to be banished … so many things you can’t eat while you are pregnant – a true nightmare. I had to convince my nice French family to bring me secretly some roquefort cream. Not possible to find any in Switzerland … (same taste, less bacteria). As soon as she is born, I send my husband to the supermarket to buy me a huge piece of roquefort and I will eat this with a spoon! Or maybe with an endive leef, to feel less guilty.

Thanks that here we can find some pasteurised goat cheese.

Brick sheets are a bit like filo pastry sheets, but easier to work with. We use them a lot in France and they come from Tunisia. Hope you find some near your place.
