Bacon wrapped figs.

Okay if you are looking for the easiest appetizer EVER… you can stop looking!  I had something similar at La Cave in Las Vegas.  They served it with an accompanying blue cheese dip.  I bought figs last week at our farmer’s market and couldn’t resist giving this super easy recipe a whirl.  So glad I did!  The smell of bacon cooking is reason no. 1 why these are a winner and 2 – the sweet/salty combination is hard to resist.

I bought a half of a pound of Turkish figs.  Cut the stem from each top.  I took several pieces of bacon and cut them in half.  Wrap one piece around each fig and place the seam side down on your cookie sheet.  Place in a preheated oven at 350 degree for about 35 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and fully cooked.  I placed them on a paper towel lined plate to drain and serve.  YUM!
