Ingredients
6 oz goat cheese
2 tbsp honey
12 pieces crackers
¼ cup chopped walnuts
½ tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2.
Slice the goat cheese into twelve even pieces. Ensure that each piece is uniformly thick to promote even cooking.
3.
Place each goat cheese slice on a cracker and arrange them neatly on the prepared baking sheet.
4.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts, crushed red pepper, and thyme leaves over each cheese-topped cracker to add flavor and texture.
5.
Drizzle honey lightly over the prepared bites, ensuring each piece has a sweet coating.
6.
Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until goat cheese softens, ensuring not to melt entirely.
7.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to settle. Serve warm or at room temperature.
