It’s fig season again, so I decided to harvest some fresh figs from the yard! Can’t go wrong with the classic combo of sweet black mission figs, salty prosciutto, and tangy goat cheese! I decided to add some peppery arugula for flavor contrast & color and topped it with some raw mānuka honey (although tbh the figs were already sweet enough!). There’s about one more month before the fleeting fig season is over, so get them while they’re still here! Figs are naturally rich in potassium & calcium and are a great source of Vit A and E!
Basic Recipe:
Slice 1 baguette into ½” diagonal slices, brush with a little olive oil, season w/ salt and pepper and heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F. Let cool.
Spread goat cheese onto each slice.
Layer on prosciutto and arugula.
Cut figs into cross-sections or thin slices and layer on top.
Drizzle your favorite honey over the top and enjoy immediately!
