1 pkg Carr Water Crackers (or could use sliced French bread rounds)
1 small log fig Chevre
8 figs chopped, and soaked in honey water (should I bake this, too?)
2 slices prosciutto (optional), shredded and at room temperature
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake log in a small baking dish until lightly browned on top.
Spread 1-2 tsp of cheese on each cracker, lightly sprinkle with a few pieces of fig, top with 2-3 shreds of prosciutto, and drizzle lightly with honey. Serve immediately.
