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!
