Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 to 6 regular smoked bacon slices (2 1/4 to 3 1/2 ounces uncooked)
12 small fresh ripe figs, such as white or Calimyrna, halved lengthwise
About 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled mild herbed goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a medium heavy skillet, place the bacon slices in a single layer and cook over low to medium-low heat, turning as needed until just beginning to brown. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Cut each bacon slice into 4 or 6 pieces.
  • Arrange the figs on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Brush the cut surfaces with balsamic vinegar. Place a piece of bacon on each cut side. Top with a small crumble of cheese. Bake until the figs are warmed, about 8 minutes. The cheese will not melt but may toast a bit. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I substituted cream cheese instead. It turned out really well!

This recipe was a disaster! The bacon was too salty and the goat cheese was too tangy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a very ripe fig. I would recommend using a less ripe fig if you want a more balanced flavor.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The salty bacon and creamy goat cheese complement the sweetness of the figs perfectly. I usually serve it on crostini, but it's also delicious on crackers or even just by itself.
