Description

This delightful recipe features fresh apricots roasted to caramelized perfection with a touch of honey or sugar, paired with a creamy and subtly sweet Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc spread. Served with sliced baguette or crackers, this dish combines fruity sweetness with creamy texture for a perfect appetizer or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Apricots and Roasting

  • 6 large fresh apricots (cut in halves or quarters)
  • ½ cup sugar or honey
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme

Spread and Serving

  • 8 oz Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc
  • Sliced baguette or crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the apricots.
  2. Prepare Apricots: Cut the fresh apricots into halves and quarters to create a mix of textures in the final dish.
  3. Mix and Roast: In a deep baking dish or a cast iron pan, add ½ cup of sugar or honey and toss the cut apricots together. Let them sit briefly while the oven heats to allow the fruit to start releasing juices. Then bake for 10-15 minutes until the apricots are tender and caramelized.
  4. Prepare Cheese Spread: Bring the Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc to room temperature by letting it sit out at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure it spreads smoothly.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spread the room-temperature Apricot Honey Fromage Blanc on a serving plate, top with the warm roasted apricots, and serve alongside sliced baguette or crackers. Enjoy this sweet and creamy treat immediately.

Notes

  • Using both halves and quarters of apricots adds interesting texture contrasts to the dish.
  • The sugar can be replaced with honey for a richer flavor profile.
  • Letting the fromage blanc come to room temperature is essential for easy spreading and best taste.
  • This recipe works well as an elegant appetizer or a light dessert.
  • If fresh apricots are not available, fresh stone fruits like peaches or nectarines can be substituted.
