How To Make (sauteed) fig and goat cheese appetizer

Step 1

Combine olive oil and shallots or red onion in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté until onions are coated and softening. If using dried whole figs, cut into 1/4" sliced and add them and the balsamic vinegar to the pan. Sauté 2–5 minutes until figs soften and are nicely coated. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Spread cheese on crostini or crackers to lightly cover and evenly distribute. Top with one or two small pieces arugula or mixed greens. Top with fig/onion mixture or fig jam then the sauteed shallots (and a garnish of fresh herbs).
