Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 dried figs (about 10 ounces)
3 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon prepared pesto
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Slice the figs about 3/4 of the way down the center lengthwise, and open each like a book; set aside.
  • Combine the goat cheese, pesto, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl with a rubber spatula. Fill each fig with about 1 teaspoon of the cheese-pesto mixture.
  • Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Put the figs, seam-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Broil, turning once, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED FIGS WRAPPED IN BACON



Goat Cheese-Stuffed Figs Wrapped in Bacon image

This is another of the recipes that disappeared so quickly that I didn't get to take a photo of them....they are that good!! They have a little bit of sweet from the fig, some tang from the cheese, and salt from the bacon. A great balance of flavors! The aged goat cheese called for in this recipe is firmer than fresh and has a dry rind. Two of the kinds that work best in this dish are Bucheron and Pouligny-St. Pierre, both have just the right amount of tang.

Categories     Fry     Quick & Easy

Yield figs

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound dried figs (Calmyrnas are best)
1 cup chicken stock
1 pound butter
3 sprigs of thyme
10-15 strips of bacon (not thick cut), room temperature
5 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, room temperature, seasoned with salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the stems off figs. In a pot, melt the butter and combine with the chicken stock and thyme. Place the dried figs in another pot and pour the liquid overtop. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, or until the figs are plump. Remove the pot from heat and let the figs cool in the liquid. Remove the figs from the liquid (when the liquid is cool, you can strain out the butter solids and use the remaining fig syrup as a condiment with meat or fish, or whisked into salad dressing). Lay out a piece of bacon, place the fig stem side down and roll the bacon around the fig (You will have to rotate the fig in order for it to get completely wrapped.) Depending on the size of the fig, wrap it with either a half- or full-sized strip (it needs to be completely covered). Place the figs in a saute pan over medium heat (Put them seam side down so they don't come unraveled). Cook until they are browned on all sides. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 5 minutes more. Arrange the figs around a pool of the mascarpone cheese and serve.
