Preview: Warm Figs with Cambozola and Balsamicby Tony M in Rouxbe Videos A delicious, seasonal appetizer - warm figs with melted cambozola cheese, drizzled with a reduction of balsamic vinegar.

Step 1: Preparing & Broiling the Figs
|
|
To start, place the oven rack in the middle position and turn your oven to broil. Cut the cambozola cheese into small pieces. Wash the figs and cut off the very tips. Cut a cross about one-third of the way down the fig. Open it up slightly and place a piece of cheese inside. Ripe figs are quite delicate, so make sure to be gentle with them. Place each fig onto a parchment-lined baking tray and into the oven. Broil for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese fully melts. To serve, place onto a platter and drizzle with a balsamic reduction or a quality, aged balsamic vinegar. These delicious figs are particularly good served with lightly-toasted crostini.

I made these last night and it was 10 minutes from the time I picked the perfect figs from my son's tree to the time I served them. Didn't have Cambozola cheese but had some double creme brie and a bit of gorgonzola that needed finishing and they were very tasty. I was happy for the recipe as we have an abundance of figs this time of year and mainly just slice them up and add to our daily salad. I had already made the balsamic reduction. I didn't have a squeeze bottle but I added some drops to the plate and ran a toothpick thru them and it looked like a pretty gourmet presentation!
