Take the goat cheese out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before making this spread so that it softens.
Spread the softened goat cheese on a small wood cutting board or salad plate. Spread the apricot preserves down the center of the top of the goat cheese, leaving some of the goat cheese visible on the outside. Drizzle the hot honey over the top of everything.
Remove the shell from the pistachios. Discard the shells. Use a knife to chop the pistachios into small pieces. Sprinkle over the top of the goat cheese spread.
Serve immediately with crackers, pita chips, or toasted baguette slices.
