Steps:
- Use a sharp knife to mark an "X" on the top of each fig, being careful not to cut more than 3/4 of the way down the fruit.
- Spread open each fig 'blossom', to expose the pink center. Arrange the figs on a platter.
- Use a small spoon to fill each fig with marmalade, Greek yogurt, and honey. Dust with cinnamon.
- Finish with small chunks of herbed chevre, walnut pieces, and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
- Good with Carr's whole wheat crackers or baguette slices, for a more substantial snack.
- VARIATION: Substitute creme fraiche for the yogurt, mascarpone cheese with lemon zest for the herbed chevre, and green pistachios instead of walnuts. Drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon -- yum!
