Cheese filled baked figs
6 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 18 | Fresh figs | |
| 8 | ounces | Cream cheese |
| 2 | ounces | Sliced almonds |
| Salt and black pepper | ||
| 1 | Egg yolk | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Pastis |
Directions
Cut the top of each fig, creating a "lid", but let it remain connected to the fig "body".
Using a small teaspoon, empty the fig contents to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, mix well with a fork. Fill each fig plentifully, so that the "lid" doesn't close. Arrange the filled figs on an oven tray, cover and refrigerate.
Transfer to a very hot oven 15 minutes before serving. Remove from oven after 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, and serve. Makes 6 servings of 3 figs per person each.
