Any type of fig will work but the most common grocery store figs are black mission and brown turkey. Both are darker on the outside and a beautiful pink inside. Remove the little stem, and eat the whole fig, skin and all.
Ripe figs are tender but not too soft and hold their shape when sliced.
Down south figs grow wild on the trees in late summer and we are lucky enough to have one in our backyard. They produce a milky sap at the stem when you pick them off the tree.
Bring your game up a notch and buy flavored goat cheese (fresh herbs already added). Garnish with finely diced & cooked bacon or pancetta if you got it and want it.
Figs too wobbly on the baking dish? Snuggle them in tight or cut off a small, flat service on the bottom of the fig to make it stand up straight.
