Notes

Variations

- If you don’t like pistachios, you can substitute roasted walnuts or pecans.

- Don't care for goat cheese? Substitute cream cheese for the same creamy texture.

- Add a bit of spice to the honey and fig mixture with a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh cracked black pepper.

- Fresh herbs are also a great addition for a pop of freshness. Before serving, sprinkle on finely chopped chives, rosemary, basil, or thyme.
