FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE image

Categories     Fruit     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 bacon slices
8 firm-ripe fresh figs, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1/4 lb aged goat cheese such as Bucheron or Pouligny-St.-Pierre
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 oz mesclun (4 cups)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Cook bacon in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until most of fat is rendered but bacon is still pliable, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Remove 1 scoop of flesh from each fig half with small end of a melon-ball cutter and discard. Scoop cheese with same end of melon-ball cutter and just fill each fig half. Press fig halves together to form whole figs. Stir together brown sugar, cumin, and salt, then rub onto 1 side of each bacon slice. Wrap 1 bacon slice, sugared side out, around each fig and secure with a toothpick. Broil figs, bacon sides up, on rack of a broiler pan about 3 inches from heat, turning them frequently, until bacon is browned, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly, then discard toothpicks. Toss mesclun with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste, then gently toss with oil. Serve figs with salad.

I had a hard time finding prosciutto that was thin enough. I ended up using serrano ham instead.

The figs were a little too ripe for my liking. I think I'll try using less ripe figs next time.

These stuffed figs were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I loved these stuffed figs! The goat cheese and prosciutto really balance out the sweetness of the figs.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover figs. I always have a few extra figs after making jam or preserves, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the figs pairs perfectly with the tanginess of the goat cheese.
