Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200°C. Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper.
-
Using a sharp knife cut a cross into the fig, approximately ¾ of the way. Do not cut all the way down, as the figs will fall apart.
-
Using your fingers to open the cut figs a little, drop a small teaspoonful of blue cheese into the gap and push together.
-
Wrap a slice of pancetta around the base of each fig and sit on the prepared baking tray.
-
Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or till figs have softened, cheese melted and pancetta a little browned and crisp.
-
In the meantime, place walnuts on a tray, lightly spray with olive oil, roast in oven for 5 minutes or till lightly golden.
-
Arrange baked figs on a platter or serving board, place a walnut half on the top of each fig.
-
Sprinkle with pepper and thyme leaves then lightly drizzle with honey, serve while warm.
