  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place goat cheese and cream cheese in a bowl or food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth and fluffy, adding olive oil gradually to achieve a creamy texture.

Notes

  • Swap cherries with figs, cranberries, or roasted grapes for variation.

  • Use walnuts instead of pistachios if preferred.
  • For a savory twist, reduce honey and add roasted garlic.
  • Let chilled leftovers sit at room temperature before serving.
