Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 to 6 regular smoked bacon slices (2 1/4 to 3 1/2 ounces uncooked)
12 small fresh ripe figs, such as white or Calimyrna, halved lengthwise
About 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled mild herbed goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a medium heavy skillet, place the bacon slices in a single layer and cook over low to medium-low heat, turning as needed until just beginning to brown. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Cut each bacon slice into 4 or 6 pieces.
  • Arrange the figs on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Brush the cut surfaces with balsamic vinegar. Place a piece of bacon on each cut side. Top with a small crumble of cheese. Bake until the figs are warmed, about 8 minutes. The cheese will not melt but may toast a bit. Serve immediately.

The figs in this recipe were not very ripe, so the dish was a bit tart. I think it would be better with ripe figs.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some additional spices or herbs.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less honey.
