Instructions

If the goat cheese is in nice little crottins, place them on a cutting or serving board. If the goat cheese is in a log, slice it thickly into 4 rounds or use 2 soup spoons to form it into 4 quenelles, scooping the cheese out of one and rounding it as you pass the cheese back and forth between the spoons to form a smooth football shape.
Arrange the cheese on a board or plate, or spread portions onto toasted baguette rounds.
Drizzle the goat cheese with the honey. If desired, sprinkle hazelnuts or pistachios over the cheese.
