The tangy, gooey goat cheese against the citrusy marmalade and herbaceous thyme is pure bliss. It’s become a total go-to in our house. We love this recipe so much, we decided to included it in our A Couple Cooks cookbook!
Goat cheese log (aka chevre) Marmalade or jam or any kind Pistachios Fresh thyme
Throw the goat cheese into the oven with the marmalade and bake 10 minutes, then top with chopped nuts and fresh thyme sprigs. The oven warms it so it’s spreadable on crackers or crostini. It’s so simple and perfect for any occasion: dinner parties, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and everything in between.
Preserves and jam: Use orange apricot marmalade like we do, or any type of preserves. Good flavor pairings with goat cheese are blueberry, blackberry, fig, and tomato jam. Nuts: Use any type of chopped nuts! Instead of pistachios, use almonds, pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts. Herbs: The fresh thyme has a distinct flavor here that we highly recommend! You can substitute dried thyme if desired. Chopped chives, rosemary or sage would also work.
Crusty bread like no knead bread, baguette, or other Crostini (here’s how to make your own) Crackers Pita chips (here’s how to make them) Flatbread or naan bread
Bake first. Bake it your house, then cover the dish in foil and warp it a towel to keep it warm. It should stay warm for about 20 minutes this way. Bake at the party. Or, have the host preheat the oven for you in advance! Pop it in right when you get to the party.
