Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole Fresh figs
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems and roughly chop the figs into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and honey. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped figs, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and fold it in to enhance the spread's creaminess.
If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and crunch.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with additional thyme leaves or a drizzle of honey, if preferred.
Serve immediately with crackers, slices of baguette, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
