- Top half of the figs with crumbles of blue cheese and other half with a teaspoon dollop of whipped goat cheese.
- Drizzle everything with olive oil and place in the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt.
- Once done, remove from oven and sprinkle chopped pistachios over the figs and a drizzle of honey.
Whipped Goat Cheese
- Place goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream and honey in a small food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add more milk or cream if needed until thick and creamy.
Notes
Whipped goat cheese is optional and to keep it even easier, top the figs with crumbles of goat cheese.
Cut small piece off the side of the fig so the figs don't roll over on the baking sheet.
These are bes served the same day because as the figs sit, they will soften and lose their structure.
