\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite summertime pairings is figs with goat cheese. We first had this over at Rob and Maria’s house <\/a>and try to make it every year. There are a few ways you can make this up and I’ve also done it warmed which is a special kind of delicious.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This week, the mister picked up some chevre at the downtown farmer’s market from Briar Rose Creamery<\/a>. They are located in Dundee, Oregon, and are kind of new on the scene.<\/p>\n

\"Briar<\/a><\/p>\n

This plain chevre was slightly tangy and plenty barny. I usually love that but I felt like it was missing another note… we puzzled over that for awhile but ultimately decided that it would definitely suffice for our purposes!<\/p>\n

These figs were ripe and ready to eat so I just washed them, cut off their stems and sliced them in half.<\/p>\n

\"Fig<\/a><\/p>\n

I love their mysterious insides! And the little seeds when they pop in your mouth are divine!<\/p>\n

Then I carefully added little scoops of chevre to each half and finished it off with some balsamic. I had both white balsamic and your standard red. My red was nothing special but I sampled both and decided the white was the perfect note. Something about the flavor combination here just works.<\/p>\n

\"Figs<\/a><\/p>\n

I used just a little dribble, carefully spooned over the chevre for each one. Yum! They were so good! I have a few more left so we’ll do the same tonight.<\/p>\n

Do a google search if you’re interested in this — there are lots of variations, some add honey, some choose other kinds of cheese. All delicious! Don’t wait too long — figs are a short season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
