Instructions

4. Arrange the sliced Pecorino cheese on a serving platter, leaving some space between slices for the toppings.
5. Drizzle the honey evenly over the cheese slices. Use a small spoon for more precise drizzling if desired.
6. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the honey-drizzled cheese.
7. Roughly break the cooled toasted walnuts into smaller pieces and scatter them over the cheese.
8. Finish with a light sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to balance the sweetness.
9. Serve immediately as an appetizer or part of a cheese board. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or crackers and a glass of wine.
