Baked Kataifi-Wrapped Goat Cheese image

This recipe came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog published a number of recipes from "The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook". It's really the perfect canapé: it's crunchy and bite-size, and the warm, tangy, salty goat cheese simply explodes in your mouth. (Kataifi, if you're wondering, is just shredded phyllo dough. You can buy it at specialty markets.)

1 pound goat cheese
1 cup mixture of finely diced carrot, celery and onion
