What delicious morsels, they look amazing :) Bye, have a great week end
ReplyDeleteI love this. I usually candy my nuts on top but whatever way you have them, they're delicious!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gourmet appetizer!
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy this. But I just got Annette to eat goat cheese, and not run from the room screaming it smells like dirty socks. I am not sure I can get her to eat figs and goat cheese together.
ReplyDeleteI've never been one for goat cheese, but I would definitely try some other cheese!
ReplyDeletevery nice video... I have had similar on fresh figs and you are right, wonderful... dried figs sometimes are too seedy for me, like dusted in sand, probably the type...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Now I have another way to cook and eat figs. I do love my figs.
ReplyDeleteHow do I love these? All ways and always. Searching for figs now...
ReplyDeleteThese look SO good! I am going to be making these, for sure. My husband will love them.
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia, I love hearing your voice, so nice. I just love figs. My grandpa used to bring them to the house all the time. I guess it is hard to find an Italian that does not like figs! Well, a great appetizer or snack. Blessings, Catherine xoxo
ReplyDeleteClaudia, these are definitely a winner! I love figs, goat cheese and balsamic. There's no way these aren't outrageously delicious! I can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeletethis looks wonderful
ReplyDeletesimply gourmet,love this combination!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing appetizer! I've stuffed dates with goat cheese, so I know these must be scrumptious! Hope you're having a lovely weekend~
ReplyDeleteGoodness Claudia, this is amazing. You are so creative. I am very jealous.
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet and savory combo! They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey look absolutely delicious! I'm a huge fan of figs!
ReplyDeleteThese little appetizers look so inviting, scrumptious, and over the top delicious. Never tried it with figs...although I did make similar with dates. I love fresh figs, and I can only imagine the combo of these flavors...Yumm!
ReplyDeleteI do love this combination!! You don't have to convince me! : )
ReplyDeleteI love fresh and dried figs. We snack on the dried ones all the time. Goat cheese is also a favorite. I can't wait to try this Claudia. It looks so good and love the simplicity of it. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Loved the video!
Unusual, but it looks wonderful, Claudia.
ReplyDeleteThese looks so yummy! I love figs and goat cheese and will have to try these soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to get a little sweetness in without over indulging. I am always eyeing the figs at the specialty market, but I have yet to break down and purchase some. However this is a delicious incentive. Tasty post Claudia!
ReplyDeleteI love stuffed figs, and nothing lends itself better than goat cheese :) Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWhat an easy and elegant appetizer! Can't wait to find some fresh figs now =)

ReplyDeleteFunny, I've also been hesitant to try figs (outside of bars or cookies that they are already in) like this! I love goat cheese so I'm sure I would love these too!
