Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven's broiler to high heat.

Step 2

Place fig halves, cut side-up, onto a baking sheet. Top each fig with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Place 1 almond on each; press to push cheese slightly into each fig.

Step 3

Broil figs in the preheated oven until cheese is soft and almonds turn a rich shade of brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Arrange figs on a serving platter and drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar. Serve warm.
