INGREDIENTS

    • 12 Black Mission figs, halved vertically
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 2-3 ounces fresh goat cheese
    • Flaky sea salt, to taste

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

    2. While the oven preheats, melt the butter in a small saucepan, along with the balsamic vinegar, honey, and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

    3. Place the figs, cut side up, in a baking dish the size of a pie pan. Top each fig half with a 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of goat cheese. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar syrup over the figs.

    4. Roast in the oven until very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.

    5. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
