Another tasty bite for Happy Hour at Home! Using those delicious fig cookies as a crunchy base, this is simple and impressive in both presentation and flavor.
apricot & goat cheese on fig crisps
red velvet apricots
vegan goat cheese
fig cookies
You really cannot get much easier than this. Place a tablespoon of goat cheese on each fig cookie, top with slices of fresh red velvet apricot. Sometimes the most simple is the most delicious.
The tangy goat cheese is a perfect flavor with the sweet and juicy apricot, and they both pair well atop these mildly sweet cookies.
They are quick to assemble, you can enjoy a few for an afternoon snack or make a platter for a party…
or a Tuesday.
Something else we will be enjoying all summer.

red velvet apricots? so inviting! they kinda look like pluots. oh how you sparkle my taste buds kris.
thank you, Lindsay! *sparkle sparkle*
Can you please come cook for me?! Or maybe just box up your treats for me
YUM.
Heather, you and I would have SUCH FUN in the kitchen!!
That would be so awesome!
Awesome. This might be the most perfect flavor combination ever!
I know… we had them again last night, SO good!
Those look delicious! The apricots are especially cute.
thanks, Holly. you know I love it when the food looks good, too
Oh my…yum! I miss goat cheese so much! This looks like a perfect summer treat!
it is – we keep enjoying it! I know, goat cheese is one of my favorites (sorry)
I love this! Goat cheese is one of my favorite cheeses. I definitely need to recreate this. Thanks for the inspiration.
you are welcome! I hope you enjoy!!
Aww, these are too pretty!
thanks, Kath… I like that part too
A picture fit enough for the kitchen wall! amazing colours and a great combination…off to see how the fig cookies are made…

I like the way you think, Shilpa!
I could see this on my kitchen wall…
Those fruits look like plums – I bet they taste so delicious! I need some new fruit choices in my life. I’ve been on a berry kick lately, but it’s not always friendly on my wallet!
they are very plummy… tart and sweet and just wonderful!
I don’t even know what to say.
I wanted to say something.
I think I love you?
That’s all.
I don’t mean that in a sketchy way…more like, “thanks for giving me recipe inspiration and I love apricots and figs and goat cheese” kind of way.
totally didn’t take it sketchy!
haaaa – I love this.
I just tried those thins at the store the other day! They were giving out samples and boy were they delicious.. I love the idea of add goat cheese and apricots (my favorite lil fruit!)
it was the first thing I thought of when I saw them… YUM !
I am so addicted to apricots right now! I can’t handle goat cheese, but I can just imagine how fantastic this would taste. I love quick and easy recipes in the summer – throw together in 5 minutes, and sit out on the deck ALL afternoon. Mmmm
yep – so easy, fast and taste awesome.
Fancy shmancy!! Perfect for a Tuesday!
they DO look fancy, right? so easy though!
i can’t wait for apricots to hit our farmer’s markets!
I know, me too!!
I’m going to go ahead and profess my love for you right now also!! This looks delicious.
ha – thank you Val!!
I want to pull that off the screen and bite in! the apricots look SOOOOO JUICY!
*RESIST URGE TO MAKE THATS WHAT SHE SAID JOKE*
baa haa… awesome. XXO
This reminds me that I cannot wait to buy peaches, apricots, plums and the like for the summer!! I’m dealing with my watermelon craving right now. This looks delicious!
thank you, Susan!
I have yet to taste watermelon this year… I can’t wait. weather is supposed to warm up next week, summer will FINALLY be here. THEN I can have my watermelon!
Heavenly! I want them!
I wish I could share some with you right now, Averie!
Yum!! Any recommendations for another cheese you think would pair well with this?! You know, for those of us who don’t like goat
haha.
a brie? another soft cheese… Mmm, now I want brie.
Yum. That is all.
Sooo, were you at Paul Mitchell in Portland today? If not, there is a Kristina in Portland who may be your twin.
Awesome combo! I love the mix of sweet / creamy cheeses. Always a winner!
I agree, Tori… great flavors together!
Mmm! I’ve never seen red velvet apricots before…and I don’t think I’ve ever paired apricots with goat cheese. I’ll definitely have to try that!
you need to. SO good…
what a great combo, this reminds me of doing figs, honey and goat cheese…oh yum
yep, I love that classic combo too…
Gorgeous! I love stone fruit on *anything*… though I’m especially partial to topping goat cheese with bruschetta.
I love bruschetta… I rarely remember to add cheese to it, mine is always simple olive oil, roma tomatoes, basil… sometimes balsamic. I need to add cheese.
That looks great! Then again, everything with goat cheese looks great to me.
you and me both, Tiff!
Ok……..so many things…..
Goat cheese and jelly I thought was best thing, but this might be beating it now! Holy yum!
How the heck did I NOT have you on my google reader?! Do now!
I got that pink chair at walmart! Its my desk chair, it was only 20 bux too!!
Love ya girl!!!
aw, thanks, girl. you’re already in mine…
I may have to go find that chair. after all I have a PINK DESK that is the exact same color!!
These look so basic & delicious!

Perhaps you should become a chef dear friend, because you are certainly coming up with some tasty food!
