I found this recipe on Tartelette (one of my all time favorite food blogs) and had to give it a try. I am a huge fan of figs, obviously, and had just been to France where they were absolutely divine.
I don’t have a ton of notes on this recipe. I’m usually not a huge fan of blue cheeses, but there is not a ton of it on each slice and the flavors all balance so well that I really don’t mind it. These were delicious at room temp, so I recommend serving them that way and not hot out of the oven. Figs can hold on to heat a bit, so it’s easier eating at room temp as well. Also, Tartelette recommends this gluten-free french bread recipe that I have yet to try, but it has amazing reviews.
Enjoy! And definitely go check out Tartelette for some yummy recipes.
- 8 slices of bread
- 4 oz crumbled gorgonzola
- 8 figs, halved
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- Turn the oven to broil or 500F.
- On a baking sheet, place the slices of bread, top each with about a tablespoon of gorgonzola, two fig halves and a sprinkle of thyme. Salt and pepper to your liking.
- Bake or broil until the cheese begins to melt. Remove from the oven and drizzle each tartine with about a teaspoon of honey.
- Serve at room temperature.
