Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 medium fresh goat cheese log, approx. 11 oz.
- ¼ cup roasted pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fig spread (such as Dalmatia brand)
Serving
- Crackers or bread for serving (e.g., rosemary flavored or cranberry nut crackers recommended)
Instructions
- Coat the Goat Cheese: On a small plate, spread out the chopped pistachios. Roll the goat cheese log gently over the pistachios to evenly coat the top and sides, then transfer it to a serving tray.
- Drizzle Honey: Pour the honey evenly over the coated goat cheese log, allowing it to seep slightly into the cheese.
- Warm and Add Fig Spread: Place the fig spread in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 10 seconds until slightly warm. Drizzle the warmed fig spread over the cheese log.
- Serve: Arrange crackers or bread around the cheese on the serving tray. Rosemary flavored or cranberry nut crackers pair especially well with the sweet and nutty flavors of this appetizer.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality goat cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Warming the fig spread enhances its aroma and makes it easier to drizzle.
- Try different crackers or slices of rustic bread to suit your palate.
- This appetizer is best served at room temperature to enjoy the full flavor.
