Add it atop a peppery arugula salad  with some caramelized onion and vinaigrette dressing. Smooth and savory with a slight sweetness on the palate. A classic pairing with Chardonnay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">A Smooth Balanced Dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">This dish was part of a two-taste offering for a classic Chardonnay. As the other dish was sweet and spicy, this dish has a cooler offer. Goat cheese is a go-to pairing with Chardonnay. Its a rich, creamy, tangy experience that would contrast (but not oppose) it&#8217;s neighboring bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">Wine Pairing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Original Pairing: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/wine\/white-wine\/chardonnay\/raeburn-chardonnay\/p\/151023750?glia=true&amp;s=1409&amp;&amp;pid=cpc:Performance+Max%2BUS%2BWASH%2BENG%2BSPART::google::&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA2-2eBhClARIsAGLQ2RlFtkPkgDjEdFOJyDjOL8G6c91ZVOr2BnFoNxsoTJnQU-I00eo-ef8aAuX4EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Raeburn Chardonnay<\/span><\/a>\n\nGeneral Pairing: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/paddy-party\/\">Party Menu and Overview<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">Specialty Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Figs<\/strong><br>Ideally you would do stuffed figs with fresh figs. However, in a pinch, you can rehydrate dried figs (details below). The rehydrated version isn&#8217;t as picture perfect, but the still taste great.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Creamy Goat Cheese<br><\/strong>A good goat cheese with a gentle tang. It should blend with the flavors and not overwhelm. Not that we don&#8217;t like a good funky goat cheese. Feel free to experiment, even with the various flavored kind (herbed, blueberry, cranberry). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Sheet pan lined with Paper Paper<br><\/strong>Simple, basic kitchen items most have on hand.  I use parchment paper to ensure my stuffed figs don&#8217;t stick to the pan.  If you are dead set against parchment, you can try a silicon mat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">Planning the Dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Seasonality plays a role with this recipe, as in many areas fresh figs are not readily available all year round. I learned this the hard way, but discovered how to rehydrate dried figs for the cause. If that ends up being your circumstance, you need to give yourself some time for this process (2-4 hours). Otherwise, it&#8217;s a pretty quick dish to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color\">Timing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Early Day of<\/strong>: clean fresh figs or rehydrate if dried (water poaching bath).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1 hour prior<\/strong>:  take out goat cheese to warm to room tempurature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>45 min prior<\/strong>: Prepare pan and start cutting figs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>30 min prior<\/strong>: set up filling and begin piping<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>20 min prior<\/strong>: bake figs, warm up honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Serve<\/strong>: plate figs and garnish with honey and walnuts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Plating Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">With fresh figs, this can be a beautiful stand alone bite or set up on a tray.  Let the honey drizzle flow onto the plate. you can sprinkle bits of walnuts around as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">As I had to rehydrate my figs, they didn&#8217;t impress as a solo plating. So I created a nest for with a small arugula salad and caramelized onions. Tasted lovely. You could also do a pickled shallot to bring in some better contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/resources\/\">see plating supply ideas in Resources area<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Pairing Alterations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cheese<\/strong><br>Goat cheese was specific for the wine pairing, though may other soft (or meltable) cheese can work with a stuffed fig. Cream cheese or brie. Of course, always check the flavors to make sure it pairs well with your choice of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Nuts<\/strong><br>Toasted nuts  are a lovely flavor layer to this dish. Also provides a nice crunch. Walnuts were a great pairing for this wine, but also consider slivered almonds or even pecans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"recipe-start\">Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-3447\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"3447\" data-servings=\"30\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-tinysalt-recipe\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-template-ts-container\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-ts-top\">\n        <div class=\"wprm-ts-img\">\n            <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px;
