Ingredients

To make my goat cheese log, you’ll only need four ingredients:

Ingredients on a board (featuring a goat cheese log, roasted pistachios, honey, and dried cranberries.
  • Goat Cheese Log – I used a goat cheese log weighing 4.4oz or 125 grams
  • Pistachios – 1/3 cup roasted and salted pistachios
  • Cranberries – 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • Honey – 2 tbsp honey (I used raw acacia honey, but any honey works well here).

How to Make It (in Just 3 Easy Steps)

Step 1 – Finely chop the pistachios and cranberries and shape them into a rectangle (the width of the goat cheese log). You can use a chef’s knife or a food processor to chop them. I prefer chopping them with the knife (as there are fewer dishes to clean at the end:))

Step 3 – Roll the goat cheese log in them.

You can use your hands or a scraper (like the one pictured in the photos) to get all the pistachios and cranberries off the board and onto the cheese log.

Serve it with some bread or crackers. It can also be a main hero or at least a sidekick in a charcuterie board (like this fall-themed charcuterie board).
