Instructions

Set the broiler to HIGH and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour the chopped walnuts into a skillet and set it over medium heat. Toast the walnuts, stirring often, until they are golden-brown and smell nutty. Transfer the walnuts to a bowl and let them cool completely.

Next crumble the goat cheese into the bowl of a food processor. Add the honey, olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend everything together until the cheese is whipped, smooth, and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.

Line the crostini on the prepared sheet pan. Using a rubber spatula or butter knife, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the whipped goat cheese on each crostini. Top each crostini with about 1 teaspoon of fig preserves.

Broil the crostini for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is warmed through and a bit melty. Transfer the crostini to a serving platter and garnish each crostini with about 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of minced rosemary and/or thyme. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Crostini Perfectly 🍞
Brush crostini lightly with olive oil and toast at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy, creating the ideal sturdy base that won't get soggy from the goat cheese and fig preserves.
Warm Your Fig Preserves 🫙
Gently warm the fig jam for 30 seconds in the microwave before spreading to make it more spreadable and allow the flavors to bloom, creating a more luxurious mouthfeel.
Temper the Goat Cheese 🧀
Remove goat cheese from the refrigerator 15 minutes before assembling so it's creamy and spreadable, ensuring a smooth, elegant texture rather than a stiff, chunky application.
Toast Walnuts for Maximum Flavor 🌰
Dry-toast walnuts in a skillet for 2-3 minutes before chopping and adding as a garnish to intensify their nutty depth and add textural contrast to the soft components.
Drizzle Honey Last for Visual Appeal 🍯
Add the honey finish just before serving so it glistens enticingly and doesn't soak into the other ingredients, while the warm fresh herbs release their aromatics for maximum sensory impact.
