Food Network Bacon Wrapped Figs

• 24 dried figs
• 3 ounces goat cheese, room temp
• 1 tablespoon pesto sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus zest of one lemon
• 12 slices bacon, halved

1. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the broiler.
2. Slice the figs about 3/4 of the way down the center lengthwise, and open each like a book; set aside.
3. Combine the goat cheese, pesto, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl with a rubber spatula.
4. Fill each fig with about 1 teaspoon of the cheese-pesto mixture.
5. Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
6. Put the figs, seam-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet.
7. Broil, turning once, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
