  • 1 oz cream cheese

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Chopped pistachios or walnuts for topping

Butter-Fried Toast:

  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 slices of bread your choice of bread, such as sourdough or thick-cut whole wheat

Instructions
 

Make the Whipped Goat Cheese Spread:

  • In a food processor, combine goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, honey, and ground cinnamon.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and fully combined.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon, if desired. Set aside.

Pan-Fry the Toast:

  • Add the slices of bread and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  • Flip the bread, add the remaining butter, and fry the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Assemble the Toast:

  • Top with chopped pistachios or walnuts, and drizzle with the remaining honey.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy the sweet and savory combination.

Notes

  • To Make Gluten-Free: To make this recipe gluten-free, swap regular bread for a gluten-free option like a gluten-free baguette or bread slices. Make sure to choose one with a hearty texture that will hold up to the whipped goat cheese.
  • To Make Nut-Free: If you’re avoiding nuts, simply skip the pistachios and walnuts or substitute them with a crunchy topping like seeds (sunflower or pumpkin) for added texture.
  • Blend Well: Make sure to blend the goat cheese and cream cheese thoroughly to achieve a smooth, airy texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the perfect spreadable consistency.
  • Make Ahead: The whipped goat cheese spread can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just bring it to room temperature before spreading on the toast.
