Fresh Creekview Figs

The California fig season is officially underway! These fragile, pear-shaped beauties are one of our favorites and between Rochelle and I, we are fortunate enough to have five beautiful fig trees to harvest from. Plump and mildly sweet, fresh figs are delicious in their natural state or can be added to an array of savory or sweet dishes. Below are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy fresh California figs:

Goat Cheese and Fig Toast

Goat Cheese Fig Toast

  • Bread of your choice, toasted (we use Beckmanns bread from our local farmers market)
  • Fresh figs, sliced
  • Fresh chèvre
  • Raw organic honey
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh thyme

Drizzle toast with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and toast. Spread the fresh goat cheese on the warm toast, drizzle with honey, add a little pepper and top with fresh fig slices. Garnish with thyme.

Fig Salsa

Fig Salsa Aprons & Stilettos

Add this easy-to-make salsa to sliced, smoked steak for a hint of sweetness.

  • Fresh figs, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Scallions, chopped
  • Pinch salt & pepper
  • Blue cheese

Mix together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Drizzle over figs, add parsley and scallions and mix to combine. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles. Also, great on a steak crostini!

This is another extremely easy, yet delicious appetizer (or a delicious dessert. )

20 figs (this recipe can be altered depending on how many you want to make)
4 oz. fresh goat cheese, soft at room temperature
1 Tbls fresh rosemary, chopped
Honey for drizzling

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash and dry your figs. Prepare them by slicing an X at the top but be careful to not slice them all the way down. Pace your figs on an oven safe dish or baking sheet.

Place your goat cheese in a small bowl and mix with your chopped goat cheese. Using a spoon or small cheese knife, stuff the rosemary infused goat cheese into the fig pockets. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Drizzle honey over warmed figs or to the side and sprinkle chopped rosemary as a garnish.
Enjoy!
