- 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:

- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the spread.
- If you don't have fig preserves, you can use another type of fruit preserves, such as apricot or orange.
- Be sure to chill the spread for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the spread to firm up.
