Stuffed Figs

Figs are something you don’t often think to cook with- at least in my house. The majority of the time when you think of figs, you think “fig newton”…

Let’s get a little grown up with our figs, shall we? This was a little treat tonight with our grilled cheese (talk about trying to be an adult with the fig situation and then eating the biggest kid thing ever with the grilled cheese…)

I purchased some mission figs from the grocery store the other day because, well why not?! This makes a really nice appetizer and looks ultra fancy if you’re looking to host people for dinner. I could see this pairing well with some white wine and crackers.

Stuffed Figs

Ingredients

• Mission figs washed and scored, stems removed.
• Uncured deli ham, sliced into about 1” cubes
• Honey
• Gorgonzola or sharp cheese cut into 1” cubes
• Rosemary

Preheat oven to 375

Stuff figs with ham, then cheese, sprinkle a small amount of rosemary and drizzle a bit of honey.

Bake for about 12/13 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and ham is browned.

Enjoy right out of the oven!
