Description
A creamy, sweet, and crunchy goat cheese appetizer topped with honey, toasted walnuts, and fresh herbs, perfect for parties or quick snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz goat cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
- Crackers or bread for serving
Instructions
- Remove the goat cheese from the fridge 10–15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. If a firmer shape is preferred, leave it chilled and unmold it onto the platter.
- Chop the walnuts if not already chopped. Optionally, toss them with a pinch of sea salt and toast in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- No full cooking is required for this appetizer; however, if you choose to toast the walnuts or desire a warm contrast, briefly warm the goat cheese on low heat or use warmed slices of bread for serving.
- Place the goat cheese on a serving platter, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, and scatter fresh herb leaves over the top. Serve immediately with crackers or slices of bread for dipping.
Notes
Serve with a variety of crackers and toasted baguette slices. Great to pair with light white wine or rosé.
