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

  1. 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.)
  2. Place the chopped cranberries, pistachios, rosemary, and salt on a plate and mix to combine.
  3. 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).
  4. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the top.
  5. Place the log on a plate and drizzle generously with honey.
  6. Serve immediately with crackers or crostini.
