Roasted Figs

By

  • 12

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh Black Mission, Brown Turkish, or (in a pinch), dried figs
  • High-quality balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces Gorgonzola Dolce, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, quartered and toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the figs in half lengthwise, place them on a baking sheet, and dig a little hole in the middle with your pinky finger. Drizzle the fig halves with 2 or 3 drops of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt.

Fill each fig with Gorgonzola and top with a quarter of a walnut. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
