Food Recipes - Appetizers : Goat cheese and fig appetizer

This appetizer requires no cooking time. But it yields with such a delicate taste in your mouth, the sweetness of the ripen figs, mixed with the creamy texture of goat cheese. If goat cheese isn't your favorite, you can replace it with any other creamy cheese.
