Ingredients
- 1 ramekin (6.5 ounces) Alouette Garlic & Herbs Soft Spreadable Cheese
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chili crisp
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pistachios
- 1 teaspoon minced chives
- Multigrain crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Transfer the garlic and herb cheese onto a serving plate. Spread into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border. Use the back of a spoon to create shallow swirls and divots.
- Spoon the chili crisp over the cheese, letting it fill the swirls and divots.
- Drizzle honey evenly across the top.
- Sprinkle with chopped toasted pistachios and minced chives.
- Serve immediately with multigrain crackers or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use herbed goat cheese or whipped feta as an alternative to Alouette cheese.
- For a nut-free version, substitute pistachios with toasted pepitas or omit entirely.
- To increase heat, use hot honey or extra chili crisp.
- Toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Serve chilled or allow to soften slightly at room temperature for easy spreading.
