Instructions

Recipe created by Chef Matthew Kennedy
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. In a small pan; add maple syrup, chipotle powder and pumpkin seeds. Cook over medium heat until maple syrup reduces and coats seeds with a thick glaze, and seeds begin to toast. Remove seeds from pan and onto parchment paper or a silicon mat. Allow to cool before breaking up. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
  3. To assemble; divide goats cheese amongst toasts. Place on parchement lined baking sheet and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and top with a half fig and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with aged balsamic. Serve warm.

  • Wear a glove or use plastic wrap to avoid leaving finger prints in cheese.
