Stone Fruits with Honey-Drizzled Soft Cheeses and Toasted Almonds
A light cheese-and-fruit dish is a nice way to complete a meal. Recipe from www.marthastewart.com. Serves 4.
  • 1/2 cup blanched whole almonds
  • 2 tbsp. almond oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
  • 4 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 3 tbsp. wildflower or orange-blossom honey
  • assorted stone fruits: 2 slices nectarines, 2 halved red or yellow plums, 16 white or red cherries
1. Heat almonds and oil in a skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until almonds are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer almonds to a plate to cool. Discard oil.

2. Stir together cheeses, then mound on a platter, making a small well in the center with the back of a spoon. Surround with fruits and toasted almonds. Drizzle honey into center of cheese.
