Pistachio Stuffed Figs

By maredan

Ingredients

• 8 small figs and/or apricots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios or almonds
• 2 tablespoons flour

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Heat the oven to broil. Cut a cross from the top about three-quarters of the way down into the figs. Mash together the butter, sugar, ground pistachios and flour and chill for 1 hour.
Divide chilled filling into as may balls as you have figs, and poke onto into the mouth of each. Broil 8 to 10 minutes, until the nut mixture is golden and the figs hot. Serve with whipped cream or crème fraîche.
