Drizzle in the honey and mix until evenly incorporated.
Add the fresh thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure the herbs and seasoning are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually add the olive oil while mixing to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the goat cheese spread to a serving dish and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of thyme leaves, or a few chopped walnuts for presentation.
