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 400°F for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy, but still slightly bendable to prevent them from shattering when guests bite into them.
Warm Your Goat Cheese 🧀
Let goat cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading to achieve a creamy, luxurious texture that spreads evenly without tearing the delicate crostini.
Caramelize Your Fig Preserves 🍯
Warm the fig jam in a small pan for 2-3 minutes before assembly to deepen its flavor and create a glossy, spreadable consistency that adheres better to the cheese layer.
Toast Walnuts for Maximum Flavor 🌰
Dry-toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, then chop roughly just before serving to enhance their nutty depth and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Layer Strategically for Balance ⚖️
Apply goat cheese first as a base, then fig preserves, then drizzle honey, and top with walnuts and herbs last—this order prevents sogginess and ensures each bite has balanced sweet, savory, and herbal notes.
