Description
A delightful blend of creamy goat cheese and sweet fig jam, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces goat cheese (softened for easy spreading)
- 1/2 cup fig jam (or your favorite fruit jam for variation)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or rosemary, optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds for crunch)

Instructions
- Prepare the Goat Cheese: Remove the goat cheese from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to improve spreadability.
