Baked Figs with Goat Cheese

Enjoy these baked figs with goat cheese as a simple yet elegant appetizer that perfectly balances sweet and savory flavors. Fresh figs soften and turn jammy in the oven, while the creamy goat cheese adds a rich, tangy contrast. A drizzle of honey brings everything together, creating a warm, irresistible bite. They look impressive but come together with minimal effort. Perfect for entertaining or a relaxed evening at home. Serve them warm and watch them disappear fast.

Method

Set the oven temperature to 200 °C or 390 °F and let it heat up. Remove the stems from the figs and slice an X shape on the top of each one, halfway down.
Use a teaspoon to fill the figs with soft goat cheese. Top them with chopped walnuts and sage, and drizzle honey over them. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as you like. I baked them in a Le Creuset rectangular dish that fit them perfectly.
Broil for about 5 minutes or until they look soft and release juice. Serve them warm or cold with a glass of wine. Enjoy!
