Helpful Tips
For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the slices of rustic bread before serving. If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or try using a pinch of cayenne pepper instead. Fresh herbs such as basil or chives can be substituted for thyme or rosemary based on your preference. Leftover goat cheese can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Pairings
This Spicy Honey Drizzled Goat Cheese pairs wonderfully with a crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity rosé. For a non-alcoholic option, try serving it with a sparkling apple cider. Complement your charcuterie board with nuts, dried fruits, and a selection of cured meats for a fully rounded appetizer spread.
