6 oz goat cheese
2 tbsp honey
12 pieces crackers
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Slice the goat cheese into twelve even pieces. Ensure that each piece is uniformly thick to promote even cooking.
- Place each goat cheese slice on a cracker and arrange them neatly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts, crushed red pepper, and thyme leaves over each cheese-topped cracker to add flavor and texture.
- Drizzle honey lightly over the prepared bites, ensuring each piece has a sweet coating.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until goat cheese softens, ensuring not to melt entirely.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to settle. Serve warm or at room temperature.
