Scale
Appetizers
- 20 dry apricots
- 2 oz. goat cheese
- 20 unsalted walnuts
- 1 tbsp. honey
- Fresh thyme – optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Apricots: Lay 20 dry apricots evenly spaced on a serving plate, making sure they are stable for topping.
- Add Goat Cheese: Place approximately ½ teaspoon of goat cheese on top of each apricot, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
- Top with Walnuts: Gently press one unsalted walnut onto the goat cheese of each apricot, ensuring it adheres well.
- Drizzle Honey: Lightly drizzle about 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the assembled apricot and goat cheese stacks.
- Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle a small amount of fresh thyme leaves over the appetizers for an aromatic and visual enhancement.
Notes
- You can assemble these appetizers 1-2 hours ahead of serving. Prepare them, skip drizzling the honey, cover with cellophane, and refrigerate until ready.
- Drizzle honey just before serving to retain fresh textures and flavors.
- Use fresh thyme sparingly to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors.
