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.
Figs Stuffed with Gorgonzola
