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)
  • Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Assemble the Appetizer: Spread the softened goat cheese on a serving platter or individual crackers. Spoon the fig jam over the cheese, leaving swirls visible, and garnish with thyme and chopped nuts.
  3. Serve: Arrange the goat cheese and fig jam spread with crackers or baguette slices and serve immediately.

Notes

Consider experimenting with different fruit jams or herbs, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
