Calories: 210kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups soft goat cheese
- 8 large ripe figs
- 3 tablespoons honey divided
- ¼ cup nuts chopped
Instructions
- To prepare roasted figs, pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Cut figs in half lengthwise. Arrange sliced figs in a baking dish or on a baking sheet, cut side up, and drizzle with some of the honey.
- Place baking sheet in pre-heated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for several minutes.
- Top each roasted fig with a spoonful of creamy goat cheese and a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Return to the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is nice and melty.
- Drizzle with remaining honey and garnish with herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature.
Notes
If you are not a fan of goat cheese, cream cheese is a suitable substitute and will taste just as delicious.
Pistachio nuts and pine nuts are a good choice for elevating this recipe to “guest fare,” but really any type will work to add a touch of nuttiness.
