Background

These bacon-wrapped goat's cheese stuffed figs are perfect little snacks for a drinks party or make a gorgeous appetizer at a dinner party. You could also serve them as a starter on top of some green salad. They are really easy to make and are absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

4 figs
8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
50g goat's cheese
2 Tbsp Maple syrup (approx) or runny honey

Instructions

Turn on your grill in the oven. Lay the bacon on a non-stick tray and grill for 5-8 minutes until lightly browned (not crispy).
Take the tray out of the oven and brush the bacon with maple syrup.
Meanwhile cut the figs in half and scoop out some of the flesh with a spoon - just enough to create a small well. Brush the inside area of the figs with more maple syrup.
Mash the goat's cheese with the remaining maple syrup and stuff the figs with this.
Carefully wrap the bacon around the figs - the bacon should overlap itself underneath the figs.
Place the wrapped figs on the tray (on top of the bacon fat) and cook in the oven for about 5- 8 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the figs have slightly softened.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
