Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese, Pine Nuts and Honey

Serves 4

• 12-16 fresh figs

• 4 oz fresh soft goat cheese

• 1 T extra virgin olive oil

• 2 T honey

• 3 T pine nuts

• 5 sprigs fresh thyme

• Kosher salt and black pepper

Preheat broiler.

Stand each fig on its end on a sheet pan lined with parchment (you may have to cut off a little slice from the bottom so they stand upright). Cut an X into the top of each fig, and continue to cut 2⁄3 of the way down to create a space to tuck a piece of goat cheese. Stuff each with a small knob of cheese, sprinkle with thyme, salt, pepper, and pine nuts. Drizzle with olive oil and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on them so the pine nuts don’t burn. You may need to move the pan to the middle of the oven.

Remove from the oven. Drizzle with honey, and serve.
