Why It Works
- Salty aged goat cheese pairs perfectly with ripe figs. Almonds add crunch, and hot honey brings out the jamminess of the fruit.
There's not really much to this simple but excellent dish: perfect figs, a little salty aged goat cheese for contrast, some Marcona almonds for crunch, and a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey. A little olive oil and salt and a few random herbs from the garden finish it off.
