Goat Cheese and Cherry Sweet Potato

I saw a recipe on Pinterest (because isn't that always how this starts?) for  very yummy looking sweet potato.  Sweet potatoes with goat cheese, honey, and roasted grapes from the Wicked Noodle.  Yummy, right?  Then, I somehow had some left over honey goat cheese and I knew what I had to do.

Goat Cheese and Cherry Sweet Potato

1 small or medium sweet potato
1 ounce (approximately) of honey goat cheese
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dried tart cherries
Dash of cinnamon

This was a really simple recipe and it worked great on my meatless day with the Quorn goat cheese and cranberry chick'n cutlet. 

Bake the sweet potato at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until soft.  The time this takes depends greatly on the size and shape of your potato.



Cut the potato open and sprinkle it with honey and cinnamon. These amounts are negotiable.  They are really both to taste.  You can also put some butter on at this point, but it seems unnecessary with the goat cheese.  Work the honey and cinnamon into the potato with a fork.



Crumble the goat cheese on top and return to the oven until the cheese melts (ish...goat cheese holds it shape well, but it gets warm.  That is what you are looking for.)



Take the potato out of the oven and add the cherries. 



Serve and enjoy :-)
