Girl Next Doors Baked Goods

Lisa Hill-​Ries bakes some kick ass brownies, but as of yet, she does not have her own store. That is such a shame.
In the morning before I hop on the C train, I get my morning fix of Stumptown cold brewed coffee and also a tasty treat for my morning ride into the island of Manhattan. It is usually a blue cheese and date scone, but today I also picked up a «cheesy» brownie.
The brownie is made with chevre goat cheese and I know what you are thinking. What the??? I was thinking the same, how could this possibly work? Chevre is an acquired taste and if you don’t like the taste of goat, this brownie is not going to suit you.
But, I am like a mouse, and I get weak in the knees for cheese and I love chevre goat cheese. This brownie was amazing. It is not your typical brownie and it is defnitely cheesy and not in a cream cheese kind of way. Be prepared to shock your tastebuds, but in a positive way.
I highly recommend Lisa’s brownies. But right now you can only find them at Green Grape Provisions and they will soon be available at Greene Harvest CSA. She has also been known to sell her baked goods at the Hester Street Fair. I can’t wait until she opens her own store!
