Roasted Figs

Another super duper easy peasy fancy dancy recipe! I went to Trader Joes a few weeks ago and discovered a TON of new foods, figs being one of them.  I always meant to try cooking with figs, but where the heck do you buy these little thangs?  It turns out you can get them at the normal grocery store too, hahaha.  Roast up some of these babies to impress your friends as a cute little appy at your next dinner gathering!

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
10 figs
4 oz goat cheese
Balsomic vinegar
Salt + pepper to taste

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Rinse figs and cut them in half. Using a silicone brush, lightly brush each fit with a thin layer of balsamic vinegar. Spread a thin amount of goat cheese equally on each fig.  Top with a bit of fresh ground pepper. Place figs in the oven on a small, rimmed cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Enjoy immediately from the oven!

Tip

You could easily add a bit of honey to each fig for an additional point plus!
