Elegant baked figs stuffed with creamy goat cheese, topped with walnuts, sage, and honey. A sweet-savory appetizer or light dessert that feels gourmet but is simple to prepare.

Ingredients

6 medium-sized figs

80 g (2.8 oz) soft goat cheese

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

2 tablespoons honey

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash figs, pat dry, and cut a cross shape on the top without cutting all the way through.
  3. Gently open each fig and stuff the center with a spoonful of goat cheese.
  4. Sprinkle walnuts and chopped sage over the figs.
  5. Drizzle honey evenly on top and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Place figs in a baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes, until softened and caramelized.
  7. Serve warm with extra honey drizzled if desired.

Notes

Swap goat cheese for blue cheese for a bolder flavor.

Use balsamic glaze instead of honey for tanginess.

Try pecans or almonds in place of walnuts for crunch.

Cut figs only two-thirds deep to help them hold their shape.

Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
