Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200℃/180℃fan/400℉.
Trim the fig stem and cut an X from the top ¾ down (don't cut all the way through).
Arrange on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and using a teaspoon, stuff each fig with the cheese and sprinkle a little dried thyme over the top. Drizzle with honey and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with freshly ground black pepper, crushed pecans and basil leaves.

Notes

varieties of figs
Find more information on varieties of figs.
Select fresh ripe figs. Unripe figs will not work as well.
Gorgonzola piccante pairs beautifully with figs, but you could also make these using a milder Dolcelatte, goats cheese or a stilton.
These figs are lightly baked for just 15 minutes, so they remain juicy. If you prefer them a little more caramelized and chewy, increase the first baking time to 15 minutes.
These are best served straight away, but they will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 1-2 days. They do not freeze well.
