Wash the figs well but gently. Remove the tail, if any, and cut each unit in half. Place on your back and fill with some crumbled goat cheese. Add freshly ground black pepper.
Peel the pistachios if necessary, and chop them roughly. Spread them to taste in figs. Mix honey in a bowl with balsamic vinegar. Test and adjust the quantities to taste.
Dress the figs with the mixture and top with a little coarse salt or flaked salt. Add a little more cheese on top if desired. They can be given an oven blow if they prefer to serve warm and with a sweeter taste.
