due al posto di uno/double feature

Getting back into a regular routine has been a little more challenging than I thought!  The new job is good, but I have found myself struggling to stay awake when I get home.  So, dinner has consisted of anything quick and (preferably) healthy.  Successfully adjusting to regular routine means making the most out of time and task, right? How about a dinner dessert combo?

What fruit plays nice with friends? Figs!  Beautiful, fresh figs.

I was going to use mascarpone with this lil’ tasty treat, but I realized I finished my last bit this weekend.  No worries!  Goat cheese works!

Broiled Figs with Goat Cheese and Spiced Honey

Wash, and pat dry 4 ripe, blemish-free figs. Using a sharp knife, quarter each fig. Place on a lined cookie sheet covered with oiled paper. Add about ½ Tbsp. of goat cheese in the center of each fig and place them under a broiler for 5-6 minutes, until the goat cheese browns.

Meanwhile, mix together ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon each of ground cardamom & ground allspice.  Add to honey and heat until warm and liquefied. Drizzle honey over each fig and serve immediately.
