Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Rinse the figs and pat them dry using a kitchen towel. Using a knife, slice each fig in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the cut sides of the figs lightly with this mixture.
Place the figs cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the figs are slightly softened.
While the figs are grilling, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces if it's not already crumbled, and set it aside.
Once the figs are grilled, carefully remove them from the grill using tongs and arrange them on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Top each grilled fig half with a small portion of crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle honey over the figs and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
