Ingredients
  

  • 6 fresh figs Fresh figs Look for plump ones that give just a little to the touch

Notes

For variety, consider using blue cheese or ricotta instead of goat cheese. Maple syrup can replace honey for a unique twist. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheat in a 300°F oven. Using warm honey before drizzling enhances the texture and blend with olive oil. Serve with toasted baguette or crusty bread to scoop up the juices!
