If you read my last post then you probably won’t be surprised by this lovely treat! I have been concentrating on using up all of the delicious figs off my fig tree. Sweet Figs naturally pair with creamy, salty goat cheese.
The flaky texture of the phyllo pastry adds the final element that makes this appetizer a perfect sweet/salty treat! Make sure you keep a damp cloth close by to prevent the phyllo from drying out.
However, it takes very little time to assemble this pastry so you shouldn’t have problems. I add honey to my goat cheese and mix. Then when I’m done butter basting my phyllo sheets, all I have to do is spread on the goat cheese and place my sliced figs.
I also dab more butter on the top of the pastry and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Yummo!
