Ingredients

  • A quarter cup of nourishing canola oil
  • One sizable yellow onion, sliced thinly
  • A quarter cup of petite dried Mission figs
  • Six ounces of creamy goat cheese, at room temperature
  • Forty crispy crackers

Step 1

Begin by warming a skillet over medium heat and adding a drizzle of oil. Toss in the onion and sauté until it becomes soft and see-through, usually taking around 5 minutes. Lower the heat and keep stirring until the onion reaches a deep brown shade and turns ultra tender, which typically requires an additional 40 minutes. Once done, set it aside to cool.

Step 2

As the onion cools down, grab the figs and thinly slice them lengthwise into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

To assemble your tasty bites, place a sprinkle of goat cheese, followed by a touch of the caramelized onions, and finally one or two slices of fig on top of each cracker. Enjoy the delicious combination!
