Notes

These Goat Cheese appetizer with Strawberries are best when chilled for an hour after they’re done so that the cheese can firm up.
Choose ripe but not overripe strawberries that are firm and uniform in size. The smaller the better.
Serve this easy appetizer with crunchy baguette slices or on their own.
I chose strawberries for this appetizer recipe, but it would also work well with melon balls or grapes too. Choose a fruit that holds its shape well and does not lose too much water.
If using a different fruit, feel free to play around with the herbs! Mint and melon is a great combination, or try teaming up grapes and parsley.
Substitute pistachios with any other chopped nut like almonds, walnuts or pecans. They all taste terrific in this simple goat cheese appetizer recipe.
Should you be a fan of goat cheese, try a mix of cream cheese and feta or blue cheese. The cream cheese is necessary to make the cheese malleable and creamy.
