I love to cook with figs in every form: dried, as a sweet jam, and when they’re in season, fresh! The texture of tiny crunchy seeds bursting through the chewy, yielding pink flesh of the fruit makes any dish interesting, from pastries and sweets, to savory applications like stews and salads.

Here are a few great recipes that make the most of these delicious fruits:

Fig and Goat Cheese Mini Croissants from The Culinary Chase

Fig & Brie Grilled Cheese from Last Ingredient

Prosciutto and Fig Pizza with Arugula from A Family Feast

Fig & Watermelon Salad with Honey Vanilla Cashews from Nom Nom Paleo

Fig Glazed Chicken Sauté from The Naked Kitchen

Broccoli Fig and Goat Cheese Pasta from Big Eats Tiny Kitchen

What are your favorite ways to enjoy figs?
