Notes
Substitute blue cheese or brie for goat cheese or Boursin for a stronger flavor.
Drizzle balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangy twist.
Swap figs for pears, peaches, or apples depending on season.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
