Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 cup Fig preserves
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 serving Crusty bread or crackers (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and goat cheese. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves and add them to the cheese mixture. Stir well to incorporate the rosemary evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a serving dish and use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.
Spoon the fig preserves into the well, spreading it gently over the top of the cheese mixture. Ensure an even layer so that every bite has some sweetness.
Optional: Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for dipping, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the mixture to come to room temperature for the best flavor before serving.
