Description
This goat cheese log is the perfect blend of sweet and savory, making it an ideal appetizer for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces goat cheese log
- ½ cup finely chopped dried sweetened cranberries (aka craisins)
- ¼ cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus a sprinkle for serving
- 2 tablespoons honey, for serving
Instructions
- Allow the goat cheese to come to room temperature, which is important because it makes it easy to spread. (Leave it at room temperature for 1 hour or speed up the process, place it on a plate and microwave for about 10 seconds on one side, then 5 on the other.)
- Place the chopped cranberries, pistachios, rosemary, and salt on a plate and mix to combine.
- Roll the goat cheese in the mixture and use your hands to coat each side, re-forming it as necessary so that every surface is covered (even the bottom).
- Sprinkle a bit of salt on the top.
- Place the log on a plate and drizzle generously with honey.
- Serve immediately with crackers or crostini.
Notes
- This recipe can be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated until serving.
