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.

  • 12 freshs figs , halved
  • 4 ounces herbed goat cheese , chèvre
