Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 120 grams Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 pieces Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh figs under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross into the top of each fig, stopping about three-quarters of the way down to create four petals. Gently open the fig to resemble a flower, being careful not to completely split them apart.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with half of the thyme leaves until well combined.
Step 4
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each fig with a dollop of the goat cheese mixture.
Step 5
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the filled figs.
Step 6
Drizzle each fig with a small amount of honey for a touch of sweetness and finish by garnishing with the remaining thyme leaves.
Step 7
Arrange the figs on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy these elegant and flavorful Fig Flowers!
