Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. fresh figs about 8, stems removed and halved or quartered (depending on size)
  • 3 oz. chevre (soft) goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 16 crostini or crackers for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together chopped rosemary (1 tablespoon), olive oil (2 tablespoons), balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons), honey (1 tablespoon), and salt to taste.
  3. In a small baking dish, arrange figs cut side up.
  4. Crumble goat cheese on top of the figs (I usually use a fork or knife to get chunks off the goat cheese log right over the baking dish, since it's so soft and difficult to crumble).
  5. Drizzle the dressing evenly on top of the figs.
  6. Roast in oven for 15 minutes, or until figs have reached the desired tenderness/are starting to brown. (if they are taking a while to brown, you can finish them under the broiler).
  7. Serve figs and goat cheese on crostini drizzled with extra dressing from the bottom of the baking dish.

Notes

  • Depending on the kinds of figs you use, you may want to use more or less honey. Green figs tend to be more tart, so you may want more, whereas dark colored figs tend to be naturally very sweet.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
