Mission Figs Stuffed with Spanish Blue Cheese
Sharp Spanish Blue cheeses, such as Cabrales or Picón, contrast wonderfully with the soft, subtle, sweet flesh of fresh, ripe figs in this distinct recipe. Enjoy these stuffed figs with a glass of sherry, another perfect partner for a fig. The cocoa nibs, pressed into the cheese, are a surprise ingredient that adds a little bitter depth and crunch to the mixture.
