Ingredients
- 6 fresh, whole Turkish or Mission figs
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar (the older the vinegar, the sweeter it will be)
- 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese (see Note, below)
- Handful mint leaves, chopped
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice each fig in half lengthwise, and scoop out a tiny bit of the soft interior in order to make room for the cheese. (Go ahead and eat that part!)
Place the figs cut-side-up in a small baking dish, and sprinkle the almonds around them. Drizzle the vinegar over the figs and nuts, saving a little vinegar for garnish. Bake for 10 minutes.
Place a healthy dollop (roughly a tablespoon) of mascarpone cheese in each fig. Sprinkle with mint, drizzle with the remaining vinegar and serve immediately.
