Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Figs

1. 1

   Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the broiler.

2. 2

   Slice the figs about 3/4 of the way down the center lengthwise, and open each like a book; set aside.

3. 3

   Combine the goat cheese, pesto, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl with a rubber spatula.

4. 4

   Fill each fig with about 1 teaspoon of the cheese-pesto mixture.

5. 5

   Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.

6. 6

   Put the figs, seam-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet.

7. 7

   Broil, turning once, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
