Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pecans)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried red chile flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 0.25 cup honey
- 8 ounces soft cheese (such as goat cheese or brie)
- 1 loaf/box crusty bread or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the mixed nuts to the skillet and toast them for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant.
Once the nuts are toasted, reduce the heat to low and stir in the olive oil and dried red chile flakes. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the nuts and mix well. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the honey with the slightly cooled nut mixture, stirring to coat the nuts evenly with the spiced honey.
Place the soft cheese on a serving platter and use a spoon to drizzle the chile nut honey mixture over the top of the cheese.
Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread or crisp crackers for dipping.
