Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Slice the figs about 3/4 of the way down the center lengthwise, and open each like a book; set aside.
- Combine the goat cheese, pesto, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl with a rubber spatula. Fill each fig with about 1 teaspoon of the cheese-pesto mixture.
- Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Put the figs, seam-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Broil, turning once, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED FIGS WRAPPED IN BACON
This is another of the recipes that disappeared so quickly that I didn't get to take a photo of them....they are that good!! They have a little bit of sweet from the fig, some tang from the cheese, and salt from the bacon. A great balance of flavors! The aged goat cheese called for in this recipe is firmer than fresh and has a dry rind. Two of the kinds that work best in this dish are Bucheron and Pouligny-St. Pierre, both have just the right amount of tang.

Tips:
- Use high-quality bacon that is not too thick or too thin. Thick-cut bacon will take longer to cook and may not crisp up properly, while thin-cut bacon may burn easily. - If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. - Wrap the bacon around the figs tightly, but not so tightly that the figs burst. - Cook the figs over medium heat so that the bacon has time to cook through without burning. - If you are cooking the figs in a pan, add a little bit of water or oil to prevent them from sticking. - Once the bacon is cooked, remove the figs from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped figs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both sweet and savory. Whether you are serving them at a party or simply enjoying them as a snack, bacon-wrapped figs are sure to be a hit.
