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.

Made this as an appetizer while my husband was cooking up a Cornish game hen stuffed with date/fig/almond/cinnamon couscous. As another rater noted, I drizzled the honey and the rosemary on a square white dish for a perfect presentation. Wonderful. I'm thinking, maybe next time, a small piece of bacon stuffed in the top, too?

I'm making this for the second time this week, it is that good! With an over-abundance of figs on my tree, I was so lucky to come across this recipe. Simple to make, fresh taste and the cheese was "the bomb"! Thanks, as usual, Emeril!! (I used a local honey, which I believe made this dish taste even better.

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.
