Figs with Basil and Chevre

I tried this delicious appetizer at a party recently in LA. “Why didn’t I ever think of this,” I thought? So simple, fresh, seasonal…and easy. So, I made it for my own party when I returned home and about 25 figs disappeared in about 5 minutes.

Figs with Basil and Chevre
Author: The Barefoot Cook
Ingredients
  • 15-25 fresh figs
  • handful of fresh basil leaves shredded into small strips
  • ½ cup fresh goat cheese ( I got mine from the farmers market in Austin, TX from my favorite goat farmers, [url href=”https://www.swedefarm.com/goat-dairy-houston.html” title=”Swede Farms Goat Dairy” name=”Swede Farms”]Swede Farms[/url]. They have amazing raw goat cheese).
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to broil.
  2. Cut figs in half and place on a cookie sheet.
  3. Place about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese in the middle of each fig half.
  4. Sprinkle some shredded basil over each fig.
  5. Place cookie sheet in over for 30 seconds-1 minute, just long enough to barely melt and brown the cheese.
  6. Remove from oven and eat!
  7. As a little something extra, you can drizzle some balsamic reduction over each fig.
  8. Enjoy!
