THYME AND FIG GOAT CHEESE SPREAD

Thyme and Fig Goat Cheese Spread image

When I started growing herbs in my garden it took me a while to find a good way to use thyme, but this easy appetizer spread lets it shine. I usually garnish it with a sprig of thyme, slivered almonds and chopped figs. -Laura Cox, Columbia, Missouri
