Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme or chives, finely chopped)

Bases & Toppings

  • 12 mini phyllo shells or crackers
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened goat cheese and cream cheese (if using) with the finely chopped fresh herbs. Mix until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended for a creamy and flavorful base.
  2. Fill the Shells or Crackers: Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture evenly into the mini phyllo shells or onto the chosen crackers, ensuring each bite has a generous and even layer of cheese.
  3. Add Honey and Nuts: Drizzle each filled shell or cracker with honey to add a touch of sweetness, then sprinkle with the toasted chopped pecans or walnuts for texture and a nutty flavor contrast.
  4. Season and Serve: Finish each bite with a tiny pinch of sea salt and a few cracks of black pepper to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld.
