30+ Healthy Appetizers Recipes (Quick and Delicious): Grilled Figs with Bacon and Maple Syrup
by eatwell101
Yield: 8 servings Prep Time: 12 min Cook time: 10 min
Try our delicious grilled fig appetizer with a savory twist! Perfect for any holiday gathering, this easy fig recipe will impress your guests and leave them craving more!
Ingredients you need for the Grilled Figs with Bacon and Maple Syrup
Directions
1. To make the grilled figs with bacon: Cook bacon pieces in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 8–10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer crispy bacon to a small bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat.
2. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet; save for another use. Add the maple syrup to the skillet, stir with a wooden spoon, and heat over medium-high. Arrange the halved figs in a single layer, cut side down. Cook the figs, swirling the liquid occasionally, until the figs are slightly softened and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the figs from the skillet, arrange the cut side up on a platter, and top with pieces of crispy bacon, almonds, and pecans.
4. Set the skillet over medium heat, add the sherry vinegar, and stir into juices. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce gets syrupy, about 1 minute. Drizzle the syrup over the grilled figs, then sprinkle with red pepper. Serve immediately – Enjoy!
