Fig and Basil Bites
~Mary~
A unique combination one might not ever dream up on their own, but someone did, and I’m thankful for it. These little gems would be a welcome addition to any hors d’oeuvres party any time of the year. These have been sitting in the ‘post’ box since Christmas time.
Fig & Basil Bites
In a small bowl mix together:
1 Tbsp Honey
6-8 ounces Goat Cheese at room temp
1 tsp Lemon Zest
.
Spread mixture thinly on:
2-4 Slices Raisin Bread
Top with
Chiffonade of Fresh Basil
On another
2-4 Slices of Raisin Bread
Spread thinly:
Fig Jam – I found mine in the Middle Eastern section of mygrocery store.
Top one slice of bread on top of the other slices of bread, just like a sandwich, toast under broiler or in a panini press or like a grilled cheese sandwich in a frying pan. Cut diagonally in an X. I trimmed the crust off too, but you don’t have to.
These look scrumptious! I’d like a few right now!
Tell me what a chiffonade of basil is, please.
Roll up a few leaves and slice them into thin strips.
HI PATTY!
P. S. Cute plate!
Figs and goat cheese are a favorite! And with a touch of basil you can’t go wrong!
Thinking of trying fig and basil ice cream….know it sounds
weird, but I’ve got lots of both fresh. If I do make it, will report
back on results.
Good Luck!
