caramelized what!?

Caramelized Apricots with Goat Cheese and Pistachios

This sounds amazing...definitely a must when apricot season comes around (late spring through the summer)

Ingredients

5 apricots, halved {not too ripe, firm to touch}

5 tsp brown sugar

5 tbsp cream cheese, room temperature

3 tbsp soft goat cheese, room temperature

2 tbsp pistachios, chopped

1 tbsp honey

Directions 
1. Turn the oven to broil {500 F}. Move the oven rack to the top shelf.
2. Wash, then cut the apricots in half and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle the tops with 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. and broil for 10 - 15 minutes. The brown sugar should caramelize and turn light brown.
4. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and goat cheese, with a fork or whisk.
5. When the apricots have cooked, remove them from the oven. Place a dollop of the cheese mixture on top of each apricot, followed by a tsp of chopped pistachios, and then drizzle with honey. Serve warm.
