Broiled Fig and Gorgonzola Finger Sandwiches
Recipe courtesy Jill Novatt

Ingredients
1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1/4 inch thick
slices
Olive oil
9 fresh figs, sliced in half
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
18 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush broth sides of

the bread slices with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Place the baking
sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the bread slices over and bake for
another 5 minutes, or until toasted. Remove from the oven and cool. Preheat the
broiler to high. Place each of the fig halves on a slice of toasted bread. Season
with salt and pepper. Top with 1 ounce of crumbled gorgonzola. Place on a baking
sheet. Broil the fig and gorgonzola sandwiches for 1 minute, or just until the
cheese begins to melt. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with toasted walnuts.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread. Serve.
