Ingredients

* 6 fresh figs

* gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

* 1/4 cup olive oil

* 1 tbs brown sugar

* 2 tbs balsamic vinegar

* 2 cups picked watercress leaves

Directions

Cut a cross in the top of each fig, top with a heaped teaspoon of gorgonzola, and place in an ovenproof dish.

Place two tablespoons of the olive oil, the sugar and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Drizzle a little of the balsamic mixture over each fig and broil in oven *low* for 2-5 minutes until the cheese is melted or Baked in a Preheated Oven (375 F) for 5 minutes for a softer finish to the fruit.

Place the watercress leaves and remaining olive oil in a bowl, season well with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

To serve, divide the watercress between six plates and top each with a fig. Drizzle with any remaining vinegar.

Enjoy! :)
