Instructions

Gently wash and dry the figs. Using a paring knife, make an “X” cut on the top of each fig, stopping just before the base to keep them intact.
Gently open the figs to form a flower shape.
Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of goat cheese into the center of each fig.
Drizzle each stuffed fig with honey.
Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, thyme leaves, and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig and serve immediately.

Notes

Best served fresh and at room temperature.
Use a piping bag for a neater cheese filling.
Swap goat cheese with blue cheese or cream cheese for variation.
Perfect paired with sparkling wine or a cheese platter.
