Bacon Wrapped Figs with Goat Cheese & Hot Honey
Recipe from the Clif Family Culinary Team
Yield: 4-6 servings
INGREDIENTS:
20 dried black mission figs, rehydrated in hot water
10 strips of bacon, cut in half
Goat Cheese Mixture
½ cup Chevre goat cheese
1 Tbsp
Clif Family Organic Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ tsp chili flakes
Juice of ½ a lemon
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
Finish
Clif Family Solar Grown™ Hot Honey, as desired
20+ wooden toothpicks
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Using a paring knife, remove the stems off each of the figs and cut a slit down the length of each fig. Place figs in a heat-resistant bowl or pot. Bring about 1 qt of water to a boil, and pour over the figs. Let the figs hydrate for about 10 minutes and drain.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the goat cheese mixture and fold together using a spatula until fully incorporated.
Fill each fig with about a teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture and wrap securely with ½ a strip of bacon. Place a toothpick through to secure the bacon to the fig. Place on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Drizzle
Clif Family Solar Grown Hot Honey over the figs as desired.
