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 sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes until it becomes soft and spreadable.
- Coat with Pistachios: Spread the chopped roasted pistachios on a plate. Roll the softened goat cheese log in the pistachios until it is well coated on all sides.
- Arrange and Drizzle Honey: Place the pistachio-coated cheese log on a serving tray. Generously drizzle honey over the top of the cheese to add sweetness and a glossy finish.
- Warm and Add Fig Spread: Briefly warm the fig spread in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Then, drizzle the warmed fig spread over the cheese log evenly.
- Serve: Serve the honey fig pistachio goat cheese appetizer alongside your choice of crackers or sliced bread for guests to enjoy.
Notes
- Allowing the goat cheese to soften makes it easier to roll and improves texture.
- Use roasted pistachios for enhanced flavor and crunch, but raw can be used if preferred.
- Fig spread can be warmed lightly to achieve a more pourable consistency.
- Try serving with a variety of crackers or a sliced baguette to complement the flavors.
- This appetizer can be prepared up to an hour in advance and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
