Ingredients

6 ripe figs (see notes)
3 tablespoons soft goat cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary , minced
honey (optional topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the stems off the figs, then slice them in half from top to bottom. Arrange the figs cut-side-up on the prepared pan.
Use a 1/2 teaspoon to scoop the goat cheese into each fig half. Lightly press the cheese into the center of each fig, if needed. Sprinkle the freshly minced herbs on top of each piece, then bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, remove the pan from the oven and let the figs cool for 5 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a serving dish and top with a touch of honey, if desired. You can also serve the honey on the side, so guests can add it as needed.

Notes

Nutrition information is for approximately two stuffed fig halves. This information is automatically calculated using a generic database of ingredients, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Storage Tip: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These make an excellent topping for a salad the next day!

Fig Note: Use fresh figs that give slightly when squeezed for the best flavor. If you want to make more than 6 servings, this recipe is easy to scale as needed!
