Ingredients

  • ¼ pecans finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries chopped
  • 1 4-oz/100g goat cheese log
  • 3 Tbsp honey divided
  • Crackers or crostini to serve

Instructions

  • Combine chopped pecans, rosemary leaves, and cranberries in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.




    Cheese Log Ingredients
  • Combining Topping Ingredients Together
  • Place the goat cheese log in a rimmed bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey, on top. Turn the cheese log while spreading the honey evenly across the entire surface with clean fingers.


    Adding Honey to Cheese Log
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecan mixture across the top of the honey-covered cheese log and gently press into the surface until the entire log is evenly coated.


    Adding Topping to Cheese Log
  • Drizzle the remaining honey on a small serving platter or round plate as shown to hold the cheese log in place. Position the goat cheese in the center and sprinkle any remaining cranberry-pecan mixture around it.
