Broiled Figs With Gorganzola And Balsamic Reductio Recipe

Ingredients

16 dried Calmyrna figs (about the size of a small walnut), cut in half lengthwise

1 wedge of crumbly Gorganzola cheese (about 4 oz)

11/2 Cups Balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1. Heat the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat and stir occasionally until it reduces to a syrup, about 8-10 minutes.

2. Press a small amount of the Gorganzola cheese, about a 1/4 tsp, into the cut face of each fig half and arrange the prepared figs on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Place the cookie sheet in the oven under the broiler for approximately 1 minute, or until the cheese starts to bubble.

4. Using a teaspoon, drizzle the balsamic reduction over each broiled fig. Transfer to a plate or platter and serve.
