Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Coating

  • 1 medium fresh goat cheese log (approx. 11 oz.)
  • ¼ cup roasted pistachios, chopped

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fig spread

Serving

Instructions

  1. Soften Goat Cheese: Allow the goat cheese log to soften slightly by leaving it at room temperature to make it easier to work with.
  2. 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 for a crunchy texture.
  3. Arrange and Drizzle Honey: Place the pistachio-coated goat cheese on a serving tray. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top to add sweetness.

  5. Serve: Serve the appetizer with your preferred crackers or bread for an elegant and delicious presentation.

Notes

  • Use the freshest figs or the highest quality fig spread for the best sweetness.
  • Try different varieties of goat cheese to experience different textures and flavors.
  • Lightly toasting the pistachios before chopping can enhance their natural flavor.
