Other Recipes   Bacon-Wrapped Figs with Goat Cheese and Almonds   Home

 

18 fresh or dried figs
18 slices of bacon
4 oz goat cheese
18 walnut halves


Remove stems from figs and cut them in half. Slice strips of bacon in half lengthwise. Wrap one piece of bacon around each fig. Bacon will be long enough to go around twice. Place on cooking sheet, cover loosely with a piece of foil to prevent fat from spraying oven, and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, until bacon is crisp. Can also be cooked in a couple large, covered frying pans.

Place figs with bacon on paper towels to drain remaining fat and cool. Please about a teaspoon or less of goat cheese on each fig. Break walnut halves into a couple pieces each and place one piece on top of each fig.

Serves 8 as an hors d'oeuvres.
