Directions
Step 1: Prepare the goat cheese.
Place the softened goat cheese on a small serving plate or board. Use a spoon or butter knife to gently spread and shape it into a circular mound. This creamy base will hold the Coppa and jam.

Spoon the fig jam or apricot jam over the center of the goat cheese. The sweet jam complements the tangy cheese and rich Coppa, creating a balanced flavor profile.
Step 4: Garnish and serve.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and a hint of herbaceous flavor. Serve with crackers or crostini on the side, allowing guests to create their perfect bite.
