This hors d'oeuvre not only looks festive and tastes terrific, but it also couldn't be easier to make. The goat cheese can be whipped in[ advance and refrigerated for up to two days. Be sure to bring it to room temperature and give it a good stir before using it.] Ingredients:
4 ounces fresh goat cheese |
2 teaspoons milk, more if needed |
40 dried apricots (about 6 ounces), preferably turkish |
2 teaspoons honey |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme) |
40 candied walnut halves |
Directions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the cheese and milk. (Or use a medium-sized bowl and a wooden spoon.) Using the paddle attachment, whip the cheese (or stir it vigorously) for at least 5 minutes, or until it is very smooth and creamy. If the cheese is still crumbly, add more milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
2. To assemble, spread about 1/8 teaspoon of cheese on each apricot. (If using California apricots, put the goat cheese on the shiny side.) Drizzle a little honey over the cheese and top with a light sprinkling of thyme. Place a walnut half on top, arrange the apricots on a platter and serve.
