Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g goat's cheese (soft, round log)
- 4 fresh figs
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- (as needed) crusty bread or crackers (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Slice the goat's cheese log into 4 equal rounds and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Wash the fresh figs, pat them dry, and slice them into halves.
Brush the fig halves lightly with olive oil and place them cut-side up next to the goat's cheese on the baking tray.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the goat's cheese rounds and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the baking tray to the grill or broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the goat's cheese is warm and slightly golden, and the figs are lightly caramelized.
Remove from the grill, arrange the goat's cheese and fig halves on a serving plate, and drizzle with balsamic glaze and the remaining honey.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
