Ingredients

½ cup - walnuts
8 ounces - soft goat cheese
2 tablespoons - honey
1 tsp - olive oil
1 tsp - rosemary
1 tsp - thyme
salt and black pepper
½ cup - fig preserves
24 - crostini

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!
