Impressive to look at, fabulous to eat. Serve these stacks as an elegant starter, vibrant side dish, or a light meal with a side of mixed greens. Garnish with the stacks with a sprinkling of fresh snipped chives or chopped tarragon leaves if desired. The tang of creamy goat cheese is welcome here, but you can mix half goat cheese and half reduced-fat whipped cream cheese to lighten things a bit. The balsamic drizzle adds a hit of sweetness and punch of acid that really brightens things up and complements the earthiness of the beets.
