Honey Pistachio Goat Cheese Log
Honey pistachio goat cheese log is an easy appetizer ready in 5 minutes! Soft goat cheese with pistachio, raisin and honey crust is perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- ½ cup pistachios (unsalted, without shells, 60 grams)
- ¼ cup raisins (30 grams)
- 1 goat cheese log (small, soft, chilled, 3.5 ounces/100 grams, see note 4)
- honey (a drizzle)
Instructions
- Finely chop the pistachios and raisins. Mix them together and transfer them onto a baking parchment or plate. Spread them around.
- Roll the soft cheese in the mixture. Press down so that the nut and raisin mix will stick to the cheese. Keep rolling until the cheese is completely covered with the mixture.
- Drizzle with honey and serve!
Notes
- Instead of raisins, cranberries or sultanas can be used.
- Pistachios can be substituted with other nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- Honey can be completely omitted.
- You will end up with some pistachio-raisin leftovers so if your cheese is slightly larger than the one I used you should not need more of the mixture.
- Make sure the cheese log is chilled before using it.
- I recommend reading the full post for more detailed information and extra tips.
