Make With Me- Warm Figs with Goat Cheese

I can't believe that November starts today- time is just flying by! I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Mine was kind of a bust. The work Halloween Social didn't happen as a morning meeting ran late by about 2 hours, leaving less than half an hour before an afternoon meeting started. On top of that, I had no kids come trick or treating.


Warm Figs with Goat Cheese

Ingredients:

• 16 ripe figs
• 4 ounces of goat cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• Fresh cracked pepper

To Make:

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Cut figs into four slices that are still connected (so it looks like an open flower), making sure not to cut all the way through
• Arrange figs, cut side up, on a cookie sheet
• Spoon goat cheese into each fig
• Lightly brush each fig with vinegar
• Bake for about 8 minutes
• Top with a twist of cracked pepper
• Enjoy! 

Notes:

1. Black Mission figs are recommended for use in this recipe.
2. The smaller the fig, the better.
3. Figs are in season in the summer or fall, making this a great recipe for this time of year!
