This is yet another creation in my mini-series of comb honey hors d’oeuvres! I mentioned in an earlier post that when Jonathan and I set out to make some fancy hors d’oeuvres using comb honey, we were surprised at the lack of recipes on the internet for such a unique, tasty and classy looking natural health food.

Every recipe or “how to” blog post on comb honey just said to eat it plain, spread it on toast, or serve with cheese. BO-RING! So we were determined to introduce to the interwebs some new, original and innovative uses for comb honey in an hors d’oeuvre setting.

As detailed in my blog post Comb Honey – The Ultimate Raw Honey:

Comb honey is basically a chunk of the hexagonal shaped beeswax cells of the honeycomb, each cell filled with raw honey, exactly at the bees packed it.

Because the honey is still in the comb and has not been touched by man, it contains every bit of pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and aromatics that the bees produced in the hive. There’s no filtering, processing or rearranging of the raw product by human hands.

Over the next week or so I’m going to be posting some of our comb honey hors d’oeuvre recipes that we’ve had a blast dreaming up, creating and tasting.

This particular recipe was a no-brainer for me, since I am a sucker for herbed goat cheese, and it pairs well with sweet and savory taste accompaniments. So when looking for foods to pair in an appetizer with comb honey, this is one of the first places my brain went!

You Will Need:

Sea Salt Crostini Crackers

Goat Cheese

Fresh Basil

Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Thyme

In a bowl, combine the goat cheese with equal parts of the freshly minced basil, rosemary and thyme, to taste. Mix until thoroughly combined. Place the herbed goat cheese on top of the sea salt crostini crackers and place a fresh herb garnish on top. (The basil are my favorite, because the fresh leaf tastes suuuuuper good!)

These simple bite sized appetizers look stunning on a platter, taste great, and add a fresh quality to any party or meal! Enjoy!
