Ingredients
- 36 large cherries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 10 ounces crumbled goat cheese room temperature
- 2 ounces whipped cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
-
In a small bowl, toss the cherries and sugar together then arrange in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Roast until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize and the cherries start to release their juices, about 15 minutes. Toss every 5 minutes to keep cherries from burning. Once cherries are done roasting, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate about 15 minutes until cool enough to handle. When cherries are cool to touch, slice each cherry in half and remove the pit. Reserve the cherry juice.
-
Meanwhile, add goat cheese, cream cheese, and pepper to a food processor and blend until uniform and soft.
-
Spread each cracker with about 1 tablespoon of the whipped goat cheese. Top with 1 1/2 roasted cherries and sprinkle with thyme. Drizzle with reserved cherry juice just before serving.
