This is a really great appetizer or as part as a cheese course. I put a small dab of the fig mixture on top of the cheese which helped it's appearance a lot.

I will make this whenever called upon to do so. It's awesome! I used toasted pecans instead of Hazelnuts. I also used mission figs which are much smaller & thought I'd ruined my recipe, and with no time to spare, served it anyway. You just can't mess this recipe up...even if you do, it still tastes great! Sweet & savory, crunchy & soft, it's all there. LOVE IT! If you use the smaller black mission figs (dried double the amount called for. She's using the bigger yellowish variety. Whole Foods carries both dried fig varieties in their bulk section (FYI. Also to save me time & energy, I had Whole Foods bakery slice the baguettes for me. Perfect slices in seconds with no effort!

I decided to try this for a small party I was having and they ate these up so fast! Unfortunately I couldn't find dried figs so I used the bagged kind in the candy isle. The only bad thing was that it was too runny but I strained the jam and it still tasted yummy. I couldn't find hazelnuts either so I used walnuts as others suggested and I think it was still yummy.

Hi,

I made this for my wine club party. Everyone raved about it and demanded the recipe. Seriously, this will not disappoint. Just for the record, I never had a bad recipe by Giada. Keep up the great recipes Giada. You are making me look great!

I made this last night and everyone loved it! I followed the recipe exactly. I was worried about making the fig jam, but it was delicious. I will definitely make this again. So many people commented on the different layers of flavor and they were gone almost as soon as I put them out. I'll make more next time.

I took this to a party and it disappeared! The fig jam with the hazelnuts is delicious. The dried figs I bought seemed small so I used quite a few extra. I am making this again for another party since it was such a hit. It was great at room temperature which makes it easy to travel with.

great recipe. I add grated lemon peel and juice to cut some of the sweetness.
