Deeeeelicious. My neighbor gave us fresh figs off his tree and I searched All Recipes to find a recipe to use them. I struck gold with this!! I read all the reviews and decided to try 2 versions. 1 with just goat cheese, the other with a combo goat/ricotta. Stick with just goat! The best. Also I REALLY struggled with cooking the bacon all the way through without demolishing the figs in the cooking process. So I tried pre-cooking the bacon in the micro first, but when wrapped around the figs and broiled the bacon ended up burning. The best solution was to just make a little pile of proscuitto on top of the figs!! No wrapping, no toothpicks, lower fat and not greasy, but very similar taste! I can't wait until next year's fig crop is ripe... and neither can my neighbor! He loved 'em as much as we did!!

My sister-in-law said that they were the most exquiste thing that has ever touched her lips. Excellent recipe. I prepared them the night before and zapped them under the broiler right when the family came. So easy, so good.

I made these this summer for a group of guests who raved about them. They were simple to make, it only took a couple of minutes to assemble a dozen or so. Then I popped them under the broiler for a few minutes and they were done! Very easy, very good.

I used dates instead of figs to make these and served them at a recent party. My friends are still talking about them! I'm not sure if it was just my oven, but I did have to broil them for 10-15 minutes to get the bacon nice and crispy.

I didn't like this as much as the other fig recipe I tried tonight. Too much salt.

I made this using fresh cream cheese instead of the goat. It was wonderful, i want to make for holiday party and already secured an online source for fresh figs. Do not hesitate to try this, you will be pleased

this is a unique appetizer and everyone loved it. I accidently got dates instead but they were very good. I 'd make it again because it tastes different - sweet and salty at the same time.
