Fig and Feta Stuffed Figs with Walnut Crumble

Ingredients

• Fresh figs (12, medium-sized)
• Feta cheese (4 oz, crumbled)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Walnuts (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Breadcrumbs (1/4 cup)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully cut a small slit in the top of each fig, ensuring not to cut all the way through, and gently open them up to create a pocket.
3. In a small bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese with honey until creamy and well-combined.
4. Stuff each fig with a generous spoonful of the feta cheese mixture, allowing it to slightly overflow for an appealing presentation.
5. In another bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix until the ingredients are well-coated and crumbly.
6. Evenly sprinkle the walnut crumble topping over the stuffed figs, ensuring each fig is generously covered.
7. Place the stuffed figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crumble topping is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
10. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving for an added burst of flavor and color.
11. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful fig and feta stuffed figs!
