Category: Grilling
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

8 fresh ripe figs
About 2 ounces gorgonzola cheese
1/3 cup toasted, finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil

To serve:
Fresh dressed greens
2 tablespoons full flavored honey (i used chestnut honey)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Trim off the stem end of the figs, and using a sharp knife cut an X into the top of the fig 3/4 of the way down leaving the bottom of the fig attached. Roll some of the gorgonzola into small balls about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in size, then roll the balls into the walnuts gently pressing the walnuts into the cheese balls. Place the figs on a baking sheet, and then place a cheese ball into each fig. Gently squeeze the fig to enclose the cheese inside. Brush the figs lightly with a little olive oil and place the figs under a preheated broiler. Broil until the figs are heated through and the cheese is just beginning to melt.

While the figs are grilling, divide the greens on top of each of four plates. Mix together the honey, balsamic, and olive oil. Place the figs on top of the greens and drizzle the figs with a little of the honey, balsamic dressing. Serve immediately.
