Rye Free Herb-Crusted Baked Goat Cheese

Warm, creamy goat cheese wrapped in a fragrant crust of pistachios, fresh herbs, and lemon zest is the kind of appetizer that disappears before you've even sat down. The rounds get chilled first so they hold their shape beautifully in the oven, then bake until the edges turn golden and the cheese softens into something almost molten inside. Every ingredient here is naturally grain-free — no breadcrumbs, no flour, no fillers — so there's nothing to swap out or second-guess. The pistachio crust does all the work that breadcrumbs usually would, adding crunch and a subtle nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the tang of fresh goat cheese. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but honestly hard to skip, playing off the rosemary and red pepper flakes in the best possible way. Serve with gluten free crackers or sliced vegetables and watch it become the centerpiece of any spread.
