Roasted California Mission Figs Stuffed with Bacon, Jalapeo Peppers, and Cheese (Mission Figs Flameado)
Rich figs stuffed full of savory goodness—a unique, Tex-Mex inspired appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 slices thick-cut bacon
- 8 dried California Mission figs
- 1 jalapeo pepper, sliced into eight, round slices
- 4 oz Fontina cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick, and sliced into eight pieces
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 8 decorative wooden skewers or cocktail picks
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In heavy skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until browned but not too crisp; cool and cut each slice into four pieces.
- Remove and discard stems from figs, and trim a thin slice from the bottom of each fig so that it will stand upright. Then, cut each fig in half, horizontally.
- Arrange bottom half of figs on well oiled baking sheet. Layer each half with slice of cooked bacon, slice of jalapeno, and square of cheese, and replace top half of each fig. Press together lightly.
- Then, heat in oven at 350F for about 15 minutes or until cheese has melted. Very carefully transfer figs to serving dish, and drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Insert decorative skewers or picks in center of each fig and serve warm.
