Figs Oozing with Goat Cheese
1
Althea
"Fresh figs stuffed with succulent goat cheese, wrapped in grape leaves, roasted on the grill, and drizzled with honey. For an extra oomph of flavor, skewer the figs on rosemary fronds. One bite and you'll feel as if you've reached nirvana!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat grill for medium heat.
- Make a small incision in the bottom of each fig (large enough to hold pastry bag tip). Place goat cheese in pastry bag with plain tip. Fill figs with goat cheese by squeezing a small amount of cheese into the bottom of each fig. The figs will plump up when filled. Wrap each fig with a grape leaf, and skewer 2 to 3 figs on each skewer.
- Lightly oil the grill grate. Place fig skewers on hot grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once. Drizzle with honey, and serve.

well, I didn't have grape leaves, so I substituted Prosciutto as the wrap. It was FABULOUS.

Wow. I am not a very picky eater but I felt that this was very bland and weird. I like figs, goat cheese and honey. Oh well. Just not my thing I guess.

Quite tasty. I don't have a piping bag, grape leaves, or a grill, so I made fig "sandwiches" by cutting the figs part-way through and spreading goat cheese inside with a knife. Then I broiled ...

The grill was out of gas and I didn’t have grape leaves, so I broiled them on high (sans leaves) for 3 minutes with fabulous results.
