And another fig post. I have been keeping an eye out for fig recipes and when this one for “Parmesan Stuffed Figs with Balsamic Reduction” was posted, I tried it right away. I still had some gorgonzola cheese so I replaced the parmesan with the gorgonzola. This one was pretty good. I was a bit worried that the figs would get too cooked before the cheese melted but the cheese melted and the figs were not too warm. The balsamic reduction added a nice sour and sweet touch.

two fresh fig recipes in a row..I’m in heaven 🙂
Wow, another delicious looking dish with figs… I don’t eat red meant but it looks really lovely.
I think I must finally get some fresh figs and make something with them…
Enjoy your weekend, Margot
Yum! You keep on doing the fig posts as much as you want! I love them and don’t find as many recipes featuring them as other fruit. That looks perfect, as always! 🙂
I’ll take this one, thank you!
And very nice photo!
Kevin, that looks amazing! I am ashamed to say that I have never had a fresh fig, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in real life. I have got to search around and see if I can find some.
