“This simple appetizer highlights the fig flavor in a very elegant way. It’s incredibly delicious and pretty, which makes it a party pleaser and a nice accompaniment for wine. Besides, this recipe comes together within minutes and requires just five simple ingredients: figs, goat cheese, honey, walnuts and sage.”
Ingredients
6 medium-sized figs
80 grams or 2.8 oz soft goat cheese
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon chopped sage
2 tablespoons honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 390 °F. Cut off the stems and make an X cut in the top of each fig half way through.
Stuff the figs with soft goat cheese using a teaspoon. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts and sage over your stuffed figs and drizzle them with honey. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Broil for about 5 minutes or until they look soft and release juice. Serve them warm or cold with a glass of wine. Enjoy!
