Method

  • step 1

    Quarter, core, then thinly slice the apple into a bowl with the lemon juice and 1 tbsp water. Toss well, as this stops the apples going brown.

  • step 2

    Heat grill to high, then line your grill rack with foil. Put the cheeses rind-side down on the foil, then set aside for a moment.

  • step 3

    Drain 2 tbsp of the juice from the apple bowl into another small bowl and discard the rest. Add the cranberry sauce, oil and honey with some seasoning, and whisk to form a dressing. Grill the cheeses for 4 mins, then scatter the nuts on and around the cheeses and return to the grill to cook for a few mins more – but take care that the nuts don’t burn.

  • step 4

    Arrange the apple, chicory and radish sprouts or watercress on 6 plates, then carefully top with the hot melted cheese. Scatter over the nuts, spoon over the dressing and serve straight away.

Simple and yummy! A definite crowd pleaser at Christmas time! Goes well with the cracked pepper and figgy bread.

Made this as a starter before Christmas lunch and it went down very well. Very easy to make and delicious as well. I used rocket and the dressing complemented the goats cheese and the nuts. Will be making it again soon.
