stuffed goat cheese and pistachio figs

Written by

As we dive into fall, and the season of dinner parties, I am always looking for easy appetizers to make that will cause our guests to stop and notice (and eat!). These stuffed figs that Lisa created for us have become a great go-to in our party prep rotation. I’ve started keeping the ingredients on hand as an easy snack to whip out for after school guests – that is, the ones that are over 4 feet tall.

To make the stuffed goat cheese and pistachio figs you’ll need: Fresh figs (halved), Goat cheese, Pistachios (finely chopped), black pepper to taste, 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar – preferably fig balsamic vinegar

Start by placing the fig halves on a serving platter and lightly pressing about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the center. Sprinkle pistachios and pepper. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together honey and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle the mixture over your figs. Serve and Enjoy!

    I’ve never tried a fig before, except in a Fig Newton! These look amazing and I love pretty much anything with Goat Cheese! So perfect for Fall!

    I love fig season! I am allergic to honey but always put a little on my figs and goat cheese anyway ;)
    This recipe sounds delicious!

    Utter gorgeousness…making this stat…SO wish I still had access to the wonderful fig/balsamic vinegar that I found EVERYWHERE in Tunisia….With so few, precious ingredients to this marvelous offering, I would so loved to have “honored” it with the good stuff!!

    Thank you for culinary brilliance…in an amazingly minimalist way!

    […] Now that we are in the thick of summer. I’ve been thinking about a few things I really want to be sure we make happen. I know don’t live in Cape Cod, but I’ve found someone to teach me how to cook lobster because that is what I’m currently craving. Sometimes you just need a fancy night IN. I’ve decided that it is time I learn how to cook a whole lobster and get myself ready to host a lobster boil with friends. Fancy food, the sun going down behind the mountains, laughter around the table and drinks in hand will make for such a great evening that everyone will remember. While your little clawed friends are boiling, you and your guests can enjoy a fancy appetizer like these goat cheese and pistachio figs.  […]
