Recipe of the Day 12.4.13 - Bacon Wrapped Figs

These bacon wrapped figs are a staple in my home around the Holidays. When our family makes these special treats they FLY! off the plates. I want to also mention that they are quick to make, so you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with the family.

  1. About 12-14 dried figs

  2. 1/4 lb of applewood smoked bacon

    This is a quick and easy recipe, but bursting full of flavor. 

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and while the oven is pre-heating, simply wrap the dried figs in a slice of bacon, securing the wrapped bacon with a toothpick.

     

    Once the figs are wrapped, place them in the oven and bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 20-30 minutes. It's just that simple.

     

    *In the past I have also done this same recipe with goat cheese stuffed Olives instead of figs.....AMAZING as well!
