Baked Goat Cheese with Cranberries, Pistachios, and Honey

I made this cranberry and pistachio-coated goat cheese log for a little Christmas party we held before departing Chicago. And then again this week to share with our family. Yes, because it’s festive and simple, but mostly because we can’t stop eating it. The key ingredient is the honey drizzled on top just as it comes out of the oven. Serve it warm (to the point that it’s soft, but not melted into a puddle on the plate- this would still taste great but not look as pretty) with crackers and bread and be in love.

Baked Goat Cheese with Cranberries, Pistachios, and Honey

INGREDIENTS

log goat cheese
chopped pistachios (I used dry roasted and unsalted)
sweetened dried cranberries
honey, for drizzling
crackers and/or sliced baguette, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll goat cheese log in pistachios and cranberries to coat. (You’ll have to be forceful to get them all to stick.)

2. Place log on an oven safe baking dish (a sheet pan lined with parchment paper works great) and bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes (time will vary with the size of your log), until warmed but not melted.

3. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve warm with crackers or baguette.
