Elegant Fig Appetizers with Goat Cheese and Almonds

Servings:

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven's broiler to high heat.
  2. 2 Place fig halves, cut side-up, onto a baking sheet. Top each fig with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Place 1 almond on each; press to push cheese slightly into each fig.
  3. 3 Broil figs in the preheated oven until cheese is soft and almonds turn a rich shade of brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Arrange figs on a serving platter and drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar. Serve warm.
