baked figs with goat cheese

autumn is approaching rapidly, yet again. and i love the coziness it promises. complete with lovely colored leaves, hot chocolates in a warm sweater, chestnuts, pumpkins and... figs. figs must be one of my favorite ingredient for special occasions, like this lamb and fig recipe here.

figs are best when baked, like i made them here together with goat cheese. nonetheless, this starter recipe doesn't have to be à la minute - you can prepare and bake the figs ahead and serve at room temperature all right.

baked figs with goat cheese (and salad)

serves three

ingredients:

6 figs, washed and cut cross-wise

3 tbsp. acacia honey

salt, black pepper

directions:

cut the figs cross-wise on the top. put in a heat proof pan. pour the honey over the figs. add a pinch of salt and pepper on each fig. place in the hot oven for around 15 minutes. serve with goat cheese and salad. no bread (if you're on a diet, which i only about now decided i must rather be... sigh). amazing how i always succeed in mentioning the most interesting parts in the last sentence... uhm yeah.
