Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Goat Cheese Appetizer with Honey, Fig & Pistachios:

  • 8 oz soft goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 68 dried figs, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
  • Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
  • Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
  • Crusty bread or crackers (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Base:

  1. Place the Goat Cheese: On a small serving platter, spread the soft goat cheese into a smooth, even layer. You can either slice it into rounds or keep it whole, depending on your preference.

Assemble the Toppings:

  1. Add the Figs: Arrange the sliced dried figs over the goat cheese. Scatter them evenly for a balanced presentation.
  2. Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the figs and cheese for a crunchy texture.
  3. Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle honey generously over the goat cheese, figs, and pistachios. The honey will tie all the flavors together and add a beautiful sheen.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Optional Garnishes: If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top for a fresh herbal note. You can also add a pinch of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
  2. Serve with Bread or Crackers: Place the platter alongside crusty bread, crostini, or crackers for easy serving.
