Ingredients

12 fresh figs, halved
4 ounces herbed goat cheese (chevre)
24 almonds
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

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

Tips:

To save time, use a mandoline to thinly slice the endives.
If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute feta or blue cheese.
For a sweeter salad, use a balsamic glaze instead of honey.
If you don't have pecans, you can use walnuts or almonds.
To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the endives and pecans up to 24 hours in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble the salad just before serving.
