Ingredients

• 1 wheel of soft goat cheese (about 150–200 g)

• 3–4 tablespoons honey

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

• 2–3 tablespoons pistachios or walnuts, roughly chopped

• A handful of pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, or fresh berries

• Fresh figs or sliced grapes (optional)

• A pinch of black pepper

• A pinch of sea salt

• Bread or crackers for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Place the goat cheese wheel in a small oven-safe dish.

3. Drizzle the cheese with olive oil and honey, letting some flow down the sides.

4. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, herbs, pepper, and a small pinch of salt.

5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is warm, soft, and slightly golden around the edges.

6. Remove from the oven and top with pomegranate seeds, berries, or fresh figs for color and sweetness.

7. Serve immediately with toasted bread, crackers, or warm baguette slices.

Tip

For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic glaze or a thin drizzle of chili honey before serving.
