Sweet, jammy and just a little savory, these goat cheese stuffed figs are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter first. Fresh figs are filled with peppered chèvre, broiled until lightly caramelized and finished with a spoonful of Clif Family Red Wine Jelly. It’s one of our favorite recipes from the Clif Family Kitchen, it needs only five ingredients and it comes together in under 15 minutes. That makes it easy to pull off whether you’re hosting a holiday party or putting together a weeknight cheese board. Pour a glass of Kit’s Killer Cab and enjoy.
Ingredients
- 24 fresh figs
- 1.5 cups soft goat cheese (chevre)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tsp salt
- Clif Family Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as needed
- 1 jar Clif Family Red Wine Jelly with Cracked Pepper
Directions

- Mix goat cheese with black pepper and salt and fill into a piping bag. Pipe about 2 tsp of goat cheese into each fig.
- Drizzle figs lightly over top with Clif Family Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Place figs under broiler for about 3-4 minutes to lightly caramelize the figs and goat cheese.
- Top each fig with a small dollop of Clif Family Red Wine Jelly with Cracked Pepper and serve.
