Ingredients
- 1 medium fresh goat cheese log (approx. 11 oz.)
- ¼ cup roasted pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fig spread
- Crackers or bread for serving
Instructions
- Soften the Goat Cheese: Allow the goat cheese log to soften slightly at room temperature, making it easier to work with and enhancing its creamy texture.
- Coat with Pistachios: Spread the chopped pistachios evenly on a small plate. Roll the softened goat cheese log over the pistachios, ensuring all sides are well-coated with the nuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Plate and Drizzle Honey: Place the pistachio-coated goat cheese on your serving tray. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top to add a natural sweetness that balances the tanginess of the cheese.
- Warm and Add Fig Spread: Warm the fig spread in a microwave-safe dish for about 10 seconds to loosen it, then drizzle it over the goat cheese log for an added layer of fruity sweetness.
- Serve: Arrange crackers or slices of bread around the cheese for serving. Enjoy immediately as a delicious appetizer.
Notes
- Use the freshest figs or the highest quality fig spread to maximize the sweetness and flavor.
- Experiment with different types of goat cheese to vary the texture and taste experience.
- Lightly toasting the pistachios before chopping enhances their nutty flavor and crunch.
