Fig and Balsamic Glazed Figs

Ingredients

Fresh figs

12, stems trimmed

Balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup

Honey

2 tablespoons

Fresh thyme

1 tablespoon, chopped

Goat cheese

4 ounces, crumbled

Walnuts

1/2 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the figs by cutting a small cross at the top of each fig, about halfway down. This will help them open up and absorb the glaze.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
4. Place the figs in a baking dish and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them, making sure to fill the cross cuts for maximum flavor.
5. Sprinkle the chopped thyme evenly over the figs.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the figs are soft and the glaze is caramelized.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the glazed figs warm, topped with crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts for added texture and creaminess.
