Fig & Goat Cheese Squares - Makes 30
2 cups Blue Ribbon® Orchard Choice® Mission or Calimyrna California Figs
1 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup toasted chopped walnuts
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar -- packed
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 cup butter -- chilled & cut into small pieces
2 cups goat cheese -- room temperature
2 eggs
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease or line a 9” x 13” (3 L) baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Combine figs, water and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook 5 minutes or until figs are tender. Cool slightly.
3. Place fig mixture in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Stir in chopped walnuts. Reserve.
4. Combine flour, brown sugar and salt in bowl. Stir to combine. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press mixture in prepared baking dish.
5. Gently spread fig mixture over prepared crust.
6. Beat goat cheese and eggs until smooth. Spread over fig mixture.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note:
1. Add 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary to goat cheese mixture. This makes a great hors d’oeuvre.
2. For a sweeter taste, beat 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla into the goat cheese mixture.

My drizzle:
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. reduced Balsamic
1/2 tsp. brandy
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
Not sure how far the above amount will go - it's the proportions I started with for flavor and increased to make one quart - so you might have to work on the amount for drizzling 30 pieces or bars.
Everything is portioned and ready to go - now I can pack the trailer.
