Bacon Wrapped Figs w/ Goat Cheese

These simple to make appetizers are not really pretty to look at, but omigod they are absolutely addictive and pair perfectly with our Chupacabra cocktails or a fine glass of wine.


INGREDIENTS

* 6 figs, halved (or substitute pitted dates)
* 6 ounces goat cheese
* 1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans
* 3 slices bacon, cut in half (preferbaly parcooked)

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Stuff fig halves with goat cheese. Press pecans into the cheese. Wrap each stuffed fig half with half a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks.
3. Arrange on a medium baking sheet. Broil 5 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and crisp and goat cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

!Buen provecho!
