Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Step 2
Rinse the figs and pat them dry using a kitchen towel. Using a knife, slice each fig in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the cut sides of the figs lightly with this mixture.
Step 4
Place the figs cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the figs are slightly softened.
Step 5
While the figs are grilling, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces if it's not already crumbled, and set it aside.
Step 6
Once the figs are grilled, carefully remove them from the grill using tongs and arrange them on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Step 7
Top each grilled fig half with a small portion of crumbled feta cheese.
Step 8
Drizzle honey over the figs and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Step 9
Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
