Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 fresh, creamy chèvre log (goat cheese)
  • 1 jar of fig jam
  • 1 cup raw, unsalted pecan halves or pieces
  • Thin, crispy crackers
  • Slices of freshly baked baguette
  • Apple slices (for a gluten-free option)
  • Fresh thyme or chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
  • Honey (optional, for drizzling)
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread your pecan halves or pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and slightly darker in color. Let them cool completely.
  2. Allow the goat cheese log to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before assembling to make it softer and easier to work with.
  3. Spread the goat cheese log evenly over the surface of your serving platter or leave it in its log shape. Generously spoon the fig jam over the goat cheese, ensuring a good layer.
  4. Sprinkle the cooled, toasted pecans over the fig jam, ensuring a good distribution.
  5. For individual servings, spread a thin layer of goat cheese on crackers or crostini, top with a dollop of fig jam, and finish with a few toasted pecan pieces.
  6. Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme or chives, and drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze for added flavor.
