Peach Fig & Goat Cheese Bread is a delightful appetizer that has the sweetness of fig spread, a bite from the goat cheese and it’s balanced out with the fresh peaches.
I don’t even know where to begin with this recipe, it’s that good. I guess I will start with my trip to Aldi’s to do a little grocery shopping. I was at the check out andthey had fig spread at the end cap for under $2. I grabbed it and thought, “I can make something with this”.
Figs are really popular right now. I have yet to cook with fresh figs, mostly because they are hard to find and they are expensive. Also, I wasn’t really sure of what the taste would be so I thought starting with the fig spread would give me an idea if I like figs or not. I will say the fig spread was divine!
My daughter Mackenzie and I shared the Peach Fig & Goat Cheese Bread and once we took one bite we didn’t stop until there was nothing left. That’s how much we loved this recipe. You must try this, TODAY!
Enjoy!
