Serves 6

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12, ripe
Blue cheese
1 cup, crumbled
Almonds
1/2 cup, chopped
Honey
2 tablespoons
Fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse the fresh figs gently and pat them dry. Cut a small slit in the top of each fig to create a pocket for the filling.
  3. Using a small spoon or your fingers, stuff each fig with approximately 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese, pressing gently to fill the pocket.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped almonds, honey, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix well until the almonds are evenly coated with honey.
  5. Generously sprinkle the almond crumble mixture over the stuffed figs, ensuring each fig is topped with a good amount of the crunchy topping.
  6. Place the stuffed figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the almonds are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an elegant appetizer or as part of a sophisticated cheese platter.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider drizzling a bit of balsamic glaze over the figs before serving.
  • 💡 You can substitute walnuts or pecans for the almonds for a different nutty flavor.
  • 💡 If you prefer a milder cheese, try using goat cheese instead of blue cheese.
