Pancetta Crisps With Chevre And Fresh Figs

To die for! Yup, these would melt the coldest heart in seconds. The pancetta takes the place of bread and makes snack time a dream.

 

  • 12 thin pancetta slices
  • 12 argula leaves
  • 12 tsp. soft fresh goat cheese
  • Homemade fig jam (store bought if you must)
  • 6 fresh figs, cut in half
  • fresh thyme, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pancetta on a parchment lined cookie sheet, baking until crisp – up to 15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.

Top each slice with 1 argula leaf, 1 tsp. goat cheese, 1/4 tsp. jam and 1 fig cut in half. Sprinkle with thyme and a light touch of freshly ground pepper.

 

Pour the wine, crack a beer. Yum!
