Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces fresh goat cheese
2 teaspoons milk, more if needed
40 dried apricots, use turkish if possible (6 oz)
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leave (1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme)
40 candied walnuts, halves

Steps:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the cheese and milk.
Using the paddle attachment, whip the cheese for at least 5 minutes, or until it is very smooth and creamy.
If the cheese is still crumbly, add more milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
To assemble, spread about 1/8 teaspoon of cheese on apricot. (If using California apricots, put the goat cheese on the shiny side.).
Drizzle a little honey over the cheese and top with a sprinkling of thyme.
Place a walnut half on top, arrange apricots on a platter and serve.
