Fresh Figs Baked
"Easy fresh fig recipe. Can be used as appetizer, side dish, or dessert... or all three! I could eat figs three times a day, I only wish the season were longer. I changed the amount of Gorgonzola for the figs, as I believe the review I recently got was right... too strong for the fig. It read 6 tablespoons before I changed it. I believe 1/2 teaspoon per fig would be better. As would less port be better."

This was delicious. I can only give 3 stars as I did not make it exactly as stated. I used gorgonzola as I had some in the house, but I found it too strong in this dish, although I did like th idea of the blue cheese. Perhaps dolcellate would have been better, for me. I also used the rest of a bottle of good red wine as it was "just hanging around" and I did not have amy port. My DH was not sure whether this was a desert or better as a starter, but he ate 2 figs anyway! -
