For the Crust:

- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 dried figs, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Slice the goat cheese log into 1/2-inch thick rounds. If sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
- Place flour, beaten egg, and chopped pistachios in three separate shallow bowls. Season pistachios with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each goat cheese round in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly in pistachios. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook cheese bites for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly softened.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, chopped figs, and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Strain if desired.
- Arrange pistachio-crusted goat cheese bites on a serving platter and drizzle with warm fig honey glaze. Serve immediately.
