Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces goat cheese log
- 1/2 cup orange apricot marmalade, or preserves or jam of any flavor*
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Crostini, bread or crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spread 1/3 cup of the preserves in a small baking dish. Add the goat cheese log. Top with 2 tablespoons of the preserves. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and top with pistachios and fresh thyme. Use as a dip for crostini, bread, or crackers.
Notes
Variations: Other options for jams are blueberry, blackberry, fig, tomato jam, and more. Use hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, or almonds for the nuts, and mint, chives, rosemary or sage for the herbs. You can also try this with sun dried tomato pesto for a savory spin.
Leftover storage: Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cheese firms up again when cold, so I recommend reheating in a 350°F oven for about 5 to 8 minutes until warmed and spreadable again.
