Elegant Fig Appetizers with Goat Cheese and Almonds image

This is a combination of several fresh fig appetizer recipes. The flavors of fresh figs, tangy goat cheese, salty almonds, sweet honey, and balsamic vinegar contrast to make these a delicious and very pretty appetizer. Arrange figs in a circle, tops facing in, for a flower effect and this will be a lovely addition to a bridal shower menu! If you can find Marcona almonds, use them! They are a Spanish almond that tastes like a cross between an almond and a cashew.

Time 18m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 fresh figs, halved
4 ounces herbed goat cheese (chevre)
24 almonds
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven broiler for high heat.
  • Place the fig halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Top each half with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Place one almond on each, press to push the cheese slightly into each fig.
  • Broil the figs in the preheated oven until the cheese is soft and the almonds are turning a rich shade of brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let cool for 5 minutes. Arrange the figs on a serving platter and drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar. Serve warm.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I loved these appetizers. The sweetness of the figs balanced out the tanginess of the goat cheese perfectly.
