Figs Stuffed with Fresh Goat Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 large fresh figs
• 4 oz fresh goat cheese
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the figs by cutting off the stems and slicing off the top third of each fig to create a small well in the center.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, honey, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Spoon the cheese mixture into the well of each fig, dividing the mixture evenly among the figs.
5. Place the filled figs in a baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted and the figs are warmed through.
6. Serve the figs immediately, garnished with additional chopped rosemary if desired.
