Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather all your ingredients while the oven warms up.
  2. Place the goat cheese in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Spread a generous layer of apricot jam over the cheese, creating an even coating.
  4. Drizzle honey over the jam-coated cheese, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  5. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves atop the mixture, crushing them slightly to release their oils.
  6. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the edges start to show a light golden hue.
  7. Serve immediately with crackers or crispy baguette slices.

For best results, serve the warm cheese immediately to prevent crackers or bread from becoming soggy. Feel free to customize with different jams or herbs.
