Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1 cup quartered dried Calimyrna figs, stems discarded
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons tiny fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons soft mild goat cheese (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. and butter 2 large baking sheets.
  • In a food processor pulse oats until chopped fine. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse until a dough just forms. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough 1/8 inch thick (about a 13-inch round) and using a 1 1/2-inch cutter cut out about 60 oatcakes. Arrange oatcakes on baking sheets 1 inch apart and bake in middle of oven 12 minutes (oatcakes will not change color). Transfer oatcakes to a rack and cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan combine figs, wine, honey, and 1 tablespoon thyme sprigs and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most liquid is evaporated. Transfer fig mixture to a small bowl and cool.
  • Top each oatcake with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese, a fig piece, and a few thyme sprigs.

I made these oatcakes for a brunch party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. The goat cheese and fig topping was especially popular.

These oatcakes were a bit bland. I think I would add some spices to the batter next time. The goat cheese and fig topping was good, though.

I've made these oatcakes several times now and they're always a hit. They're crispy, flavorful, and the goat cheese and fig topping is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe!

These oatcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of regular and gluten-free oat flour and they were perfect. The goat cheese and fig topping was a delicious addition.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The oatcakes were delicious and the fig topping was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.

These oatcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk to the batter next time. The goat cheese and fig topping was delicious, though.

These oatcakes were a delightful surprise! The combination of goat cheese, figs, and honey was absolutely divine. I've never had anything quite like it before. The oatcakes themselves were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. They
