Blue Cheese-topped Balsamic Figs

These are little bites of heaven, and especially great when figs are in season in California (just hitting now!) The perfect balance between savory and sweet, they are a great pairing with wine and cheese.

Ingredients:
Fresh figs
An aged Balsamic vinegar (10-15+ years) or better yet, Balsamic glaze (can get it in a bottle at Whole Foods)
A nice wedge of blue cheese (not crumbles)

Directions:
1. Slice figs in half, from stem to base and place on a pretty serving platter.
2. Top each fig half with slices of the blue cheese
3. Drizzle cheese-topped fig halves with the Balsamic glaze or aged vinegar.
