Savory fig and goat cheese appetizer



It must be the season for figs! I've been seeing them everywhere!  Good thing for me because we had some friends over for dinner the other night and I needed to make some sort of appetizer. I was inspired by the dates stuffed with goat cheese I had a couple weeks ago and thought, why not stuff the figs with goat cheese?

Here is what I did:
  • Quarter the figs about 3/4 of the way down
  • Stuff each one with goat cheese
  • Brush each one with olive oil
  • Broil on High in the oven for about 15 minutes
  • Take them out of the oven and sprinkle with sea salt and black paper
  • Drizzle them with honey
  • Serve with balsamic vinegar for dipping


The sweetness of the ripe figs and honey complemented the richness and warmth of the goat cheese so well.  The balsamic vinegar added the perfect amount of acidity to balance out all the mingling flavors.

    I love figs too - but they don't grow hereabouts, and are expensive in the shops. But when they do appear I'd love to try this; it sounds really yummy!

    Hi Khammany. I've been reading your blog for sometime & love what you share. and this fig recipe is my favourite, since living in France figs have become my favourite fruit. Every year I look for different ways to eat them, this year like you I've also been grilling them with goats cheese & honey, delicious.
    Thank you for your lovely comment about my sketch you along with other followers have given me such encouragement. Now I'm a follower of you I'll know when you make a new post look forward to seeing you pop by me again soon.

    Hi Khammany,

    Your savoury fig and goat cheese appetizer must have been a sweet surprise for your guests! Would you believe I live in a country where figs are so bountiful and I've NEVER had one in my whole life?! Shameful, but true. Just do not crave fruit. Better get my act together and start expanding my food horizons, don't you think? Thanks for sharing this delicious treat!

    Figs never seem to ripen in the UK - not enough warm sunshine I guess. Thanks for visiting and let's keep in touch x
