Ingredients
- 12 fresh figs
- 4 ounces St. André cheese or other semisoft cheese like goat or Brie
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice an X into the stem side of each fig, cutting halfway down the fruit. Gently pry the figs open, taking care to keep the fruit intact. Stuff 1 teaspoon of cheese into each cavity, and sprinkle with a pinch of thyme. (May be covered and refrigerated for up to an hour before baking.)
Arrange figs cut side up on a baking sheet. Roast until the figs open and the cheese is melted, 4 to 7 minutes (less for ripe fruit). Season with pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
