Servings: persons

5 uncooked bacon slices
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
1 1/2 cups diced dried figs
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup red wine
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
8 ounces goat cheese, softened
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat 8 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon, and drain on paper towels; reserve 2 Tbsp. drippings. Finely chop bacon.
2
Beat butter, 8 oz. cream cheese, and 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes. Gradually add flour and cornmeal; beat at low speed until blended, and shape into 48 balls. Cover and chill 1 hour.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Place balls in cups of 2 (24-cup) mini muffin pans; press dough into and up the sides of cups to form shells.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 22 minutes or until golden. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. (Press shells gently to reshape, if necessary.) Remove shells from pan.
5
Bring figs, next 2 ingredients, and 1/2 tsp. salt to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes or until syrupy. Cool 15 minutes.
6
Beat goat cheese, next 4 ingredients, 8 oz. cream cheese, and 1 tsp. salt at medium speed until smooth. Spoon goat cheese mixture into a zip-top plastic freezer bag, and snip 1 corner.
7
Spoon about 1 tsp. fig mixture into each shell, and pipe goat cheese mixture over fig mixture. Sprinkle with bacon.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
