Rolling The Goat Cheese Log

First, decide what you want to roll your log in. You can use any variation of nuts and dried fruits you choose. I went with Craisins, pepitas, chopped walnuts, a little parsley for color, and poppy seeds. With the poppy seeds, I sprinkled them on after. Again, if these aren’t your thing, choose something else. I love to toast nuts as well for this. Toasted pecans are a personal favorite. Lay the ingredients out on a piece of parchment, saran wrap, or even on the countertop. I wanted a quick clean-up, so I used saran wrap.

Now, take your goat cheese roll and roll it over the ingredients.

You will need to press gently to get everything to stick. Just be careful not to press too hard and break up your log. If your log is a little dry, you may need to press the nuts and fruits in with your fingers.

Sprinkle generously with the poppy seeds. I do this after, as I don’t feel like they stick as well when you roll it with the other ingredients.

The Simple Goat Cheese Appetizer Log

See, I told you it was easy. All of this ready in a matter of minutes! You can easily make this up ahead of time and wrap it well in the fridge. I wouldn’t make it more than 4 hours ahead though.

Manuka Honey

The last step is to drizzle generously with honey. I love Manuka Honey and bough this from my friends of mine from New Zealand, Steen’s Manuka Honey. They are a great company and I was happy to support them!

The Finished Simple Goat Cheese Appetizer

You are done! Now, this is best served with your favorite whole grain crackers. I promise it will be hard to stay away!
