Fig with Goat Cheese and Almond


What a simple, straight forward and yet elegant way of making appetizer. The flavors of figs, tangy goat cheese, salty almonds, sweet honey, and balsamic vinegar contrast to make these a delicious and very pretty appetizer. Serve it as it is or over a bed of rocket.

Ingredients:
4 figs (dried or fresh)
Goat cheese, crumbled
Almonds, whole or sliced
Balsamic Vinegar
Honey

  1. Preheat oven to high
  2. Carefully cut a cross over the dried fig to make pocket space, making sure the bottom remains intact. Stuff crumbled goat cheese to the pocket space. Top it with almonds. *if using fresh fig, cut fig into half, top with cheese and press almond onto cheese to push cheese into the fig.
  3. Broil in oven until cheese melt and almonds turn golden brown.
  4. Drizzle with balsamic and honey to serve.
