Ingredients
- 1 c. crumbled goat cheese
- ½ c. sour cream
- ¼ c. cream cheese
- ½ c. fig spread or fig jam
- 2 tbsp. honey
- ½ tsp. fresh thyme
- Sliced almonds for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat goat cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, honey, and thyme until smooth. You can also use a food processor.
- Spread goat cheese mixture into your preferred serving dish.
- Add fig spread or fig jam on top of the goat cheese spread. Top with sliced almonds and additional thyme, if desired.
- Refrigerate until serving. Serve with crackers or baguette slices.
Notes
- Using a pre-made fig jam or fig spread makes this recipe come together in moments!
- Allow the goat cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese to come to room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smoother and creamier texture in the final spread.
- When spreading the mixture in your serving dish, create distinct layers for visual appeal. Start with the goat cheese mixture, then add the fig spread, and finish with a neat layer of sliced almonds.
- Refrigerate the spread for at least an hour before serving. This not only helps the flavors meld together but also gives the spread a firmer consistency, making it easier to scoop onto crackers or baguette slices.
