I attempted making this dip as instructed. I did not change any of the ingredients. The recipe says to prepare a casserole dish by lining it with plastic wrap. First of all, "casserole dish" is a bit misleading because of the small amounts of the layer components. The dish I used was 3" x 6" and the layers were still quite thin. When I tried spreading the goat/cream cheese layer, the plastic wrap kept lifting up and was a mess to try to spread. I ended up just spreading the layers in the dish without the plastic wrap and serving it in the dish. The flavor was ok, but nothing great. I will not make again.
