Ingredients

12 ripe figs
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Gorgonzola
1/3 cup good-quality honey
4 pinches finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Using a paring knife, carefully trim any tough portion of the stems from each fig. Rub each fig all over with extra-virgin olive oil, then slice down through the stem about 3/4-inch. Make a second cut perpendicular to the first cut, so that you have an X-shaped cut in the top of each fig. Gently pry the edges apart and stuff each fig with about 1 teaspoon of the Gorgonzola. Place the figs upright on a baking sheet and bake until the figs are plump and shiny but have not burst, about 10 minutes.

Drizzle equal amounts of the honey on each of 4 serving plates and place the figs on top of the honey. Sprinkle each plate with a pinch of the chopped rosemary and some of the remaining Gorgonzola. Serve immediately.

Delicious and Very Easy and Elegant
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just came across this recipe while looking for something else. They sounded so good that I ran out and bought figs and the... cheese and made them. They were soooo tasty and looked so lovely on the plate. I made them for my husband and I and served three at a time on white plates. I sat them on honey but I also drizzled the honey on the plates and it made a lovely presentation. My husband immediately requested that we take then as an appetizer to some friends we are visiting this weekend. I love recipes like this. They look so lovely on the plate and look like they took a lot of time. But they are simple to make and simple to present. I would serve these as an appetizer or as a dessert. Read more

Didn't care for the combination
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

We just didn't care for the combination of figs with the sweet honey and gorgonzola, would have preferred skipping the... gorgonzola and just drizzling with honey.Read more

FABULOUS Roasted Figs with Gorgonzola
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This results were simply FABULOUS! I love figs as well as gorgonzola and this hit the spot. I had a hard time finding figs... but when I found them I made the recipe. It was the best. I love you Emeril and I think that the Food Network should never had canceled your afternoon show. You and Mario are the best chiefs on the network. You surely teach differnt things not make the same foods that others do on this network, esp. the new additions to the network. I watch this channel for years and now have a very hard time watching the new shows.The new hosts are so repeative regarding the food they perpare, one makes a dish and the next show makes the same dish. It has become boring. Nor do you laugh at yourself consistenly or make sexual jestures. I hope to see more of you and Mario on other networks. LorraineRead more

I still get recipe requests 1 yr later...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this a year ago for a party we had and I'm still getting requests for this recipe. It was easy and delicious.... Actually, they were an afterthought to my menu. Someone brought figs to me the day of the party and I prepared them quickly after doing a quick search to find a good recipe. They were incredible!Read more
