Easter Appetizer—Goat Cheese With Fig And Walnut Tapenade

March 19, 2015 by Tonja Leave a Comment

A friend of ours brought this to a party years ago and it was such a hit we added it to our catering menu.  Goat cheese and figs are a perfect pairing.  The kalamata olives, capers and balsamic vinegar elevate this tapenade to spectacular.

Make this showstopping platter for your Easter Brunch or cocktail party.  It’s simple, beautiful and unique—my favorite combination.

Note: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
