Ingredients

• 8 whole Fresh figs
• 6 ounces Goat cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh figs and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems and roughly chop the figs into small pieces.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and honey. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the chopped figs, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and fold it in to enhance the spread's creaminess.

Step 5

If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and crunch.

Step 6

Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with additional thyme leaves or a drizzle of honey, if preferred.

Step 7

Serve immediately with crackers, slices of baguette, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
