A seasonal and easy starter, ready in 20 minutes: Roasted figs with Roquefort, pear and honey

Jump to Recipe
Level: Easy
Time: 20 min

It is the season for figs and my neighbor’s trees, as well as the local markets, are loaded with this tasty and colorful fruit. Their sweet taste makes it a perfect fruit in jam and tarts but also in combination with cheese and meat. The trees grow in dry, sunny locations and are most commonly found in the Mediterranean and the Middle East countries. Their season is rather short so whenever you find these treasures in store, go for it! Store at room temperature and cook them within a day or two as it is a rather fragile fruit. Roasted figs with Roquefort, pear and honey is my favorite fig recipe. It is a very simple and quick starter to prepare and it looks and tastes beautifully!

THE TIPS TO SUCCEED

1: Cook the fragile figs rapidly after harvest or purchase

2: Select the figs soft but not too squishy

Let’s get started

Ingredients

  • 8 pcs Figs
  • 150 g Roquefort
  • 2 pcs Pear
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • Fresh Rosemary (Optional)
  • Salt and pepper

How to do it?

Put your oven to heat at 200°c

Rinse the figs and cut them open in a cross shape without cutting all the way down

Cut the pear in slices (0,5 cm thick) and break the Roquefort in small pieces.

To fill the figs, spread them slightly open. Add a bit of salt and half the Roquefort. Add some pieces of pear, letting them stick out of the figs. Then add the other half of the Roquefort on top of the pear slices.

Smear your ovenproof dish with butter or olive oil and place the figs.

Finally, pour honey across each fig and add some ground pepper and a few leaves of rosemary.

Bake for 10 minutes.
