Ingredients
- 1 lb log of plain soft goat cheese
- Pinch of salt and pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pint strawberries , washed, dried and stems removed
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pistachios
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves chopped
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.
