A few tips:
- Use soft and juicy apricots, and not too hard ones. You want them to be sweet, easy to bite on and tender.
- I made a goat cheese cream adding yogurt to the goat cheese. You can use either pure goat cheese or add Creme Fraîche/plain yogurt according to taste and how thick you prefer the goat cheese cream.
- I topped these apricot bites with thick balsamic vinegar, but they would also be delicious with some honey on top.
- I used pistachio nuts, but you can use any nuts you like and prefer.
