Fig, Goat Cheese & Pistachio Wreath 🍇🌰
Ingredients:
8 ounces goat cheese, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup dried figs, finely chopped
1/4 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
Fresh figs and pistachios, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the softened goat cheese and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix them until smooth and creamy.
Shape the Wreath:
Transfer the cheese mixture to a large, round serving platter. Shape it into a wreath by gently pressing the mixture into a circular shape, or use a round mold to create a neat wreath.
Add the Figs and Pistachios:
Sprinkle the chopped dried figs and pistachios over the cheese wreath, gently pressing them into the cheese. Drizzle honey evenly over the top to add a touch of sweetness.
Garnish with Fresh Herbs:
If using, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves around the wreath to add a pop of color and flavor. You can also garnish with a few fresh figs and whole pistachios for a more festive look.
Chill (Optional):
To let the flavors meld and firm up the wreath, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before serving (optional)
Serve:
Drizzle the wreath with olive oil before serving. Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
