Ingredients
Appetizer Ingredients
- 20 dry apricots
- 2 oz. goat cheese
- 20 unsalted walnuts
- 1 tbsp. honey
- Fresh thyme (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Arrange Apricots: Lay 20 dry apricots neatly onto a serving plate, ensuring they are evenly spaced to make each appetizer visually appealing and easy to pick up.
- Add Goat Cheese: Using a teaspoon, place approximately ½ teaspoon of soft goat cheese on top of each apricot, spreading slightly if needed to cover the surface.
- Top with Walnuts: Gently press one unsalted walnut onto the goat cheese on each apricot, ensuring it adheres firmly without crushing the nut.
- Drizzle Honey: Lightly drizzle honey over each assembled apricot, goat cheese, and walnut bite to add a touch of sweetness that balances the flavors.
- Garnish with Thyme (Optional): If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the appetizers for a fresh, aromatic finish that complements the other ingredients.
Notes
- For added texture, walnuts can be lightly toasted before pressing into the goat cheese.
- Use fresh goat cheese for best results; if using firmer cheese, allow it to soften at room temperature first.
- These appetizers are best served fresh but can be prepared up to 1 hour in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with roasted pumpkin seeds or omit entirely.
- Honey drizzle can be adjusted to taste based on desired sweetness.
