Ingredients

12 ripe figs washed
1 cup (236 ml) balsamic glaze
12 teaspoons goat cheese
¼ cup (26 grams) shelled pistachios roasted and unsalted

Instructions

Position oven rack to the upper part of the oven, preheat broiler/oven grill.
Remove the stem of the figs. Cut a deep 'X' on the top ¾ of the way down (without cutting all the way to the bottom) and open slightly. Make sure they can all stand-up on their own. If not, trim a little off the bottom to make them flat.
Add 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of the figs. If they are on the small side, you may need less.
Broil/oven grill the figs for about 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble and brown.
Remove from the oven and top with pistachios and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Serve warm.
