Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried figs, sliced Ensure they are sliced for easier assembly.

Preparation

  2. Sprinkle the sliced figs over the goat cheese, followed by a scattering of chopped pistachios.
  3. Drizzle a generous amount of honey over the assembled dish.

  5. Serve with crackers or toasted bread.

Notes

Assemble right before serving for the best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
