Recipe: Warm Black Mission and Kadota Figs with Goat Cheese

At our last Lamb and Fig Feast, I made a variety of dishes including a  Warm Black Mission and Kadota Figs with Goat Cheese. Kadota figs have a creamy amber skin with a light flavor similar to a Sauvignon Blanc.  The Black Mission are probably the figs you are most familiar with.  They have a purple and black skin with deep earthy flavor like a Cabernet.  Special thank you to the California Fig Association for contributing the delicious fruit.
