Ingredients
1/3 cuppecans, finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbspfresh Rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cupdried cranberries, chopped
18 oz.goat cheese log
3Tbsphoney
Instructions
Combine chopped pecans, rosemary leaves, and cranberries in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
Place the log of goat cheese onto a small rimmed bowl and drizzle with honey. Turn the cheese log to spread the honey evenly across the entire surface. The honey will allow the nut mixture to stick and provide a little bit of sweetness to this impressive appetizer.If you prefer a savory option to the honey, use olive oil to coat the outside of the cheese log.
Sprinkle the chopped pecan mixture across the top of the honey-covered cheese log and gently press it into the surface. Continue doing this until you have covered the entire cheese log all the way around.
Serving
If you are serving your cranberry pecan goat cheese log on a serving dish, drizzle a small amount of the honey onto the dish, and place the cranberry goat cheese roll on top of it. Then sprinkle any remaining pecan mixture around it for display.
If you are adding your cranberry goat cheese appetizer to a charcuterie board, you can place the serving dish onto the board or serve it directly on the board without the honey drizzle on the bottom. Feel free to place fresh cranberries around the cheese log for decoration.
