I was so skeptical to try these, mom use to make them years ago. Such a simple appetizer and I never tired them. I was missing out these are addicting and much better than I ever dreamed. What ever took me so long is beyond me... If you love figs and goat cheese, this will be a winner for you too!

12 Dried or Fresh Figs
(Fresh is best Black mission figs or Brown Turkish) Shown are Dried Kalamatta
from Greece
8 ounces Soft Goat cheese or Gorgonzola at room temperature
Chopped pecans
High quality Balsamic vinegar
seasalt
Heat oven to 350 degree
Slice the figs in half lengthwise in half exposing the fig seeds, removing the stem and place on some parchment paper on a cookie sheet or use a ceramic style dish, lightly oil sprayed. Press down in the middle of each fig. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar, just a few drops each and a small grind of sea salt on top.
What delicious morsels, they look amazing :) Bye, have a great week end
ReplyDeleteI love this. I usually candy my nuts on top but whatever way you have them, they're delicious!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gourmet appetizer!
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy this. But I just got Annette to eat goat cheese, and not run from the room screaming it smells like dirty socks. I am not sure I can get her to eat figs and goat cheese together.
ReplyDeleteI've never been one for goat cheese, but I would definitely try some other cheese!
ReplyDeletevery nice video... I have had similar on fresh figs and you are right, wonderful... dried figs sometimes are too seedy for me, like dusted in sand, probably the type...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Now I have another way to cook and eat figs. I do love my figs.
ReplyDeleteHow do I love these? All ways and always. Searching for figs now...
ReplyDeleteThese look SO good! I am going to be making these, for sure. My husband will love them.
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia, I love hearing your voice, so nice. I just love figs. My grandpa used to bring them to the house all the time. I guess it is hard to find an Italian that does not like figs! Well, a great appetizer or snack. Blessings, Catherine xoxo
ReplyDeleteClaudia, these are definitely a winner! I love figs, goat cheese and balsamic. There's no way these aren't outrageously delicious! I can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeletethis looks wonderful
ReplyDeletesimply gourmet,love this combination!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing appetizer! I've stuffed dates with goat cheese, so I know these must be scrumptious! Hope you're having a lovely weekend~
ReplyDeleteGoodness Claudia, this is amazing. You are so creative. I am very jealous.
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet and savory combo! They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey look absolutely delicious! I'm a huge fan of figs!
ReplyDeleteThese little appetizers look so inviting, scrumptious, and over the top delicious. Never tried it with figs...although I did make similar with dates. I love fresh figs, and I can only imagine the combo of these flavors...Yumm!
ReplyDeleteI do love this combination!! You don't have to convince me! : )
ReplyDeleteI love fresh and dried figs. We snack on the dried ones all the time. Goat cheese is also a favorite. I can't wait to try this Claudia. It looks so good and love the simplicity of it. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Loved the video!
Unusual, but it looks wonderful, Claudia.
ReplyDeleteThese looks so yummy! I love figs and goat cheese and will have to try these soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to get a little sweetness in without over indulging. I am always eyeing the figs at the specialty market, but I have yet to break down and purchase some. However this is a delicious incentive. Tasty post Claudia!
ReplyDeleteI love stuffed figs, and nothing lends itself better than goat cheese :) Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWhat an easy and elegant appetizer! Can't wait to find some fresh figs now =)
ReplyDeleteYou can't see it, but I am positively drooling over these. They look so amazing--what a great appetizer!
ReplyDeleteLove the combination!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I've also been hesitant to try figs (outside of bars or cookies that they are already in) like this! I love goat cheese so I'm sure I would love these too!
