Background

Figs and blue cheese are old friends so it’s no wonder this stilton baked figs is a delicious, little treat! Ideal for a savoury pudding, or as a starter - or serve it with pancakes/waffles for breakfast. It goes well with game and turkey/goose during the festive season.

Ingredients

4 ripe figs
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp honey
50g stilton
4 walnut halves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly oil a baking dish.
Trim the figs then cut a cross in each about halfway through the fruit.
Put them in a baking dish then push a piece of walnut into the each cut. Drizzle each with balsamic vinegar and honey, then put a chunk of stilton into each cut. Drizzle again with some honey and balsamic.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the cheese starts melting and the figs have softened (they should not become too soft.
Serve warm with extra honey.
