Baked Figs with Blue Cheese
Baked figs with blue cheese and walnuts make for a delicious and elegant appetizer or dessert. The combination of the sweet and soft figs, creamy and tangy blue cheese, and crunchy walnuts creates a delightful contrast of flavors and textures!
Ingredients
- 3-5 fresh figs
- 2 oz. blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort), crumbled
- 1 tbsp walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut an "X" on the top of each fig, cutting about halfway down. Stuff each fig with crumbled blue cheese, filling the cavity generously. Place the stuffed figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Bake the figs in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the figs are slightly softened. Once baked, remove the figs from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle a small amount of honey over the baked figs to add a touch of sweetness. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the figs. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic touch, if desired. Enjoy!
