What Started it all:
Figs

This delightful appetizer or dessert showcases the natural sweetness of figs, enhanced by the richness of honey and the tangy creaminess of goat cheese. Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a cozy gathering at home.

Ingredients

  • 8 fresh figs
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse the figs under cold water and gently pat them dry. Cut each fig in half lengthwise.
  3. Place the fig halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Roast the figs in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  5. While the figs are roasting, take the goat cheese and let it soften at room temperature. If you like, you can mix in the fresh thyme leaves for added flavor.
  6. Remove the figs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, place a dollop of goat cheese on top of each fig half.
  7. Drizzle the honey over the figs and goat cheese. If you’re using balsamic glaze, drizzle it lightly over the top as well.
  8. Arrange the figs on a serving platter and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These roasted figs with honey and goat cheese are a simple yet elegant dish that highlights the beautiful flavor of fresh figs. They can be served as an appetizer or a dessert, making them a versatile addition to any meal. Enjoy!
