Figs Stuffed with Goat Cheese

• ▢ 12 large fresh figs
• ▢ 4 ounces soft goat cheese, , at room temperature
• ▢ Olive oil or olive oil spray
• ▢ Kosher or fine sea salt
• ▢ Freshly ground black pepper
• ▢ Honey
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped roasted and salted pistachios

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set the top oven rack 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the broiler to high.
• Cut an “x” into the top of each fig, going about ⅓ of the way down. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Put the goat cheese into a small food storage bag, massage the cheese to make it very soft, cut off about ¼ inch from one of the bottom edges of the bag, and pipe the goat cheese into the figs. Brush or spray with oil and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and a large pinch of pepper. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is starting to brown.
• Place figs on a serving platter and drizzle with a little honey. Top with the chopped pistachios.
