Honey, Pistachio and Goat Cheese

This Honey, Pistachio and Goat Cheese “recipe” (it’s so easy, can you even call it that?) makes a delicious appetizer with sweet honey, earthy pistachio, fresh figs, and a little spice balancing the creamy tang of goat cheese! This is a another super easy and flexible recipe. Feel free to substitute nuts, fruit or leave out the pepper flakes to your taste – we’ve included three more suggested renditions at the bottom. Cheers!
