Time 10m

Yield 8 Fresh Fig Appetizers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 fresh figs, sliced lengthwise into quartered 'blossoms'
2 tablespoons fig marmalade
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
8 dashes ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons herbed chevre goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
8 walnut pieces
fresh mint leaves, to garnish
whole wheat crackers or sliced baguette, if desired

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife to mark an "X" on the top of each fig, being careful not to cut more than 3/4 of the way down the fruit.
  • Spread open each fig 'blossom', to expose the pink center. Arrange the figs on a platter.
  • Use a small spoon to fill each fig with marmalade, Greek yogurt, and honey. Dust with cinnamon.
  • Finish with small chunks of herbed chevre, walnut pieces, and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
  • Good with Carr's whole wheat crackers or baguette slices, for a more substantial snack.
  • VARIATION: Substitute creme fraiche for the yogurt, mascarpone cheese with lemon zest for the herbed chevre, and green pistachios instead of walnuts. Drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon -- yum!
