Try this Peach and Pastry Wrapped Cheese recipe by entertaining expert Chyka Keebaugh. She says: “I love the idea of Fromager d’Affinois Florette being warm because it makes it gooey and delicious, and the sweetness of the peaches cuts through the sharp taste of this goat’s milk cheese. This is a more substantial meal with everything you need encased in pastry. It has a bit of a Wow! factor too.”
