40 minutes
Quince with goat cheese is an exquisite combination of the sweetness of baked quince and the rich creamy flavor of goat cheese. Quince, known since ancient times as a symbol of love and fertility, acquires softness and caramel notes after baking. This recipe highlights its natural sweetness while complementing it with spicy hints of garlic, paprika, and maple syrup. The result is a dish with a delicate texture and rich aroma that can be served as an appetizer or an unusual dessert. Quince pairs perfectly with goat cheese, which adds a slight tanginess and creamy consistency, while parsley brings freshness. This dish evokes the gastronomic traditions of the Mediterranean, where the balance of flavors and natural ingredients are cherished.

Peel the quince, remove the core while keeping the bottom intact. This means cutting out the insides from the top, trying to fit as much filling as possible. It's clear that a lot of vegetarian quince meat will be sacrificed for this, but it's better to accept this without causing a financial panic. In the end, it will all pay off, believe me.
