Mission Figs w/ Goat Cheese, Honey & Rosemary


I'm continuing on my simple summer snack trend with this heavenly appetizer - Mission Figs stuffed with goat cheese blended with honey and minced fresh rosemary. You can eat it as is, skewer the figs and grill them, or warm them in the oven. Either way, you're in for a treat.
Ingredients:
6 - 12 Mission figs (they should give a little when you touch them but not be too squishy)
2 tablespoons goat cheese
1 tablespoon honey
1/8 tsp minced fresh rosemary
How to:
• Mix the goat cheese, honey and minced rosemary together with a spoon until blended (don't overblend, just mix until the ingredients are combined).
• Make a small hole in the wide end of the fig.
• Either pipe in the goat cheese mix with a pastry bag or just spoon it in with a 1/8-tsp measuring spoon.
• Eat as is or place on the grill for about 5 minuters or in the oven at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Serve with nuts and a nice glass of white wine or sangria.

Saw some figs at the local fruit stand...am going back to get some and try this recipe.
Also reminds me of France. I was visiting a friend in the Loire and they grew fig trees on their property. We picked fresh figs and sat in the garden to feast! Your herbed/honeyed goat cheese sounds like a wonderful variation on a heavenly theme!
This is great, we enhansed it on the grill by wrapping the figs in thinly sliced ham strips. We wanted to use Italian ham (proscutto) but couldnt find any.
