Ingredients
- 6-8 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
4 oz goat cheese, softened
2 tablespoons lavender honey (or regular honey, if you prefer)
Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Apricots: Wash the apricots, cut them in half, and remove the pits. If the apricots are large, you can cut them into quarters.
- Prepare the Goat Cheese: In a small bowl, soften the goat cheese with a fork until smooth and spreadable.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the apricot halves on a serving platter and add a dollop of goat cheese to the center of each apricot half.
- Drizzle with Lavender Honey: Drizzle each apricot and goat cheese combination with a little lavender honey for a sweet and floral finish.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary for added flavor (optional).
- Serve: Serve immediately, or chill briefly in the refrigerator before serving if preferred cold.
Notes
- For a savory twist, add prosciutto wrapped around the apricot halves before adding goat cheese.
- If using larger apricots, consider cutting them into quarters for bite-sized pieces.
- Grilled apricots can also be used for a smokier flavor.
