This is a really lovely recipe and can be varied to personal preference.

It can be a starter or dessert whichever tickles your taste buds and can be made sweet or savoury.

Serves 2
Ingredients:
4 ripe figs
100g soft goats cheese
10g shelled pistachios chopped
20g Light brown sugar
Runny honey to drizzle.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 190C/350F/Gas Mark 5

Slice the tops of the figs into quarters and fill each fig with 25g goats cheese or enough that it fills each fig as they do vary in size.

Sprinkle the figs with the chopped pistachio and some sugar.

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden keeping an eye on it not to burn.

Serve with runny honey. I used pistachio flavoured honey but can be any honey you desire.

If you prefer savoury- skip the sugar and wrap the figs in prosciutto slices and bake. Serve with Melba toasts or rocket salad, drizzled with extra Virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

These are so simple and easy to make and the flavours are just so lush. My mouth is watering already.
