• 1 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Finely Chopped Walnuts
• 1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 8 tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter
• 2-3 tablespoons Ice Water

1. Place the flour, walnuts, baking powder, rosemary, salt and pepper and pulse 2-3 times to combine.
2. Cut the stick of butter into 8 pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Pulse 4-5 times.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of the water and pulse till you have a crumbly consistency. If the dough is too dry add a bit more water. Turn the mixture out onto a board and lightly squeeze together to form a dough. Wrap in plastic and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the fridge and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut out 16-20 2" rounds. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and prick them with a fork to prevent them from puffing. Bake for 12 minutes until they begin to brown. When done cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Combine the goat cheese and mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Set aside.
6. Place the figs, sugar, water, orange zest and chopped bacon in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the figs have softened and mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
7. Assembly:rnDivide the goat cheese/mascarpone mixture evenly onto each cracker and then top with a bit of the compote. Garnish with fresh rosemary.rnrnEnjoy!
