How to Make Baked Goat Cheese Caramelized Onion Garlic And Figs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese into an oven-safe dish. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh figs, quartered, and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Add enough water to barely cover the figs (about 1/4 cup).
  4. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cover, and let the figs simmer for about 5 minutes until plump. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes, or until onions are golden brown and caramelized.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the plumped figs from the saucepan, reserving the poaching liquid. Add the figs to the caramelized onions; stir to combine.
  8. Spoon the onion and fig mixture evenly over the crumbled goat cheese in the oven-safe dish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the goat cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately with sliced baguette for dipping.
