Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the fresh figs under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Carefully cut each fig in half lengthwise.
Using a small spoon, scoop out a tiny bit of the center of each fig to create space for the goat cheese.
Fill each fig half with approximately 1 teaspoon of goat cheese. Smooth the top with the back of the spoon to level it.
Arrange the filled figs on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
Drizzle the honey evenly over all the figs. Sprinkle with the toasted and chopped walnuts, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Bake the figs in the preheated oven for 5β7 minutes, just until the cheese is warmed and slightly melty, but not fully oozing.
Remove the figs from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and serve warm or at room temperature.
