Strawberries with Goat Cheese and Toasted Pecans

a whole lot of bang for your buck

Three ingredients and maybe five minutes of your time equal delicious results that happen to be beautiful too. They may not be chocolate covered strawberries that everyone knows and loves but once you make these you will not even remember what chocolate strawberries are.

Orange and Goat Cheese Crostini, Healthy Caprese Salad, and Figs with Honey are some other easy appetizer recipes that have fresh fruit that gives them the beautiful results everyone loves.

• Small Container Goat Cheese
• Toasted Pecans

recipe instruction

1. With a butter knife, spread goat cheese over three quarters of the entire strawberry, just about up to the leaves.

2. Toast pecans in a saute pan over high heat. Flip the nuts every 30 seconds until toasted. It will take just a minute or so altogether. **Stay on top of the nuts as they toast. Because of the high oil content they can burn quickly if unattended.**

3. Chop toasted pecans. Roll strawberries in the nuts.

3. Serve whole.

cooking tips

• Add these to an antipasto spread, or cheese and fruit platter. Serve as an appetizer or even dessert.
