Frangelico Figs with Creamy Blue Cheese
From luisascatering 11 years agoIngredients
- 1 cup Frangelico or other hazelnut liqueur shopping list
- 8 fresh figs, preferably Mission or Brown turkey, stems removed, cut in half lengthwise shopping list
- 8 ounces Montbriac cheese, at room temperature, cut into 8 equal pieces (or use Cambozola, Le Petit Bleu, Saga Blue, or Brie) shopping list
- ¾ cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped shopping list
How to make it
- In a saucepan just large enough to hold the figs in one layer, bring the Frangelico to a boil, then turn the heat to medium-low. Add the figs, cut sidedown, and cook for 5 minutes, or until they begin to feel soft but not squishy.
- Drain the figs, reserving the liquid, and place 2 figs on each of 4 individual plates cut side up. Top the figs with the cheese right away. (This ensures that the cheese will begin to melt.) Meanwhile, put the liquid back into the pan over a high heat. Reduce the liqueur until it is a syrupy consistency, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn. Sprinkle the hazelnuts on top of the figs and drizzle the syrup over them. Serve right away.
