Ingredients
- 12 large figs (I used Brown Turkey)
- 3-1/2 ounces Cambozola cheese , cut into cubes*
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts , chopped
- honey , for drizzling the stuffed figs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in the middle position. Cut the stems off of the figs. Use a paring knife to cut an "X" in the top of each fig, stopping about 2/3 of the way down.
- Gently open the fig and stuff with a cube of Cambozola. Place stuffed figs in an ungreased baking pan or a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes, until cheese is just beginning to soften.
- Remove figs from the oven, sprinkle with chopped toasted walnuts, and lightly drizzle with honey. Serve immediately, either on their own or with slices of crusty bread.

Notes
- *The size of your cheese cube will depend on the size of your fig; I usually cube mine around 1/3 of an ounce, or a little larger.
- Heat a skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add walnuts to the pan in a single layer. Cook, stirring often, until the walnuts begin to lightly brown and are aromatic. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool.
- You can stuff these figs with other cheese styles of your choosing; try cubes of Brie, goat cheese, or your favorite crumbled blue cheese.
