Broiled Figs With Goat Cheese

Uncle Bob's recipe Inspired me to make these. I made his Grilled Fresh Figs on Rosemary Skewers and they were so good. I just wanted to kick it up a bit!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 4  stalks fresh rosemary, about 6 inches long
• 4  large fresh figs, any variety, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise
• 1⁄8 cup liquid honey
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2  ounces  goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

1. Strip the leaves from the bottom of the rosemary stems, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of leaves at the tip.
2. Place the stems in a bowl and add cold water to cover; soak for at least 30 minutes.
3. Skewer fig halves crosswise on each rosemary stem.
4. Arrange the skewers on a plate with the cut sides of the figs facing up.
5. In a small bowl, mix together honey and lemon juice.
6. Brush the honey/lemon mixture over the cut side of the figs.
7. Preheat the broiler to high.
8. Broil the figs cut side up until they are lightly browned and softened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
9. Top with cheese and place back under broiler for 1 minute.
10. Serve on the skewers while still hot.
