I LOVE figs. I was overjoyed to see beautiful baskets of the dark black/purple Mission fig at the farmers' market this past weekend. Fig recipes are piling high on my coffee table: ice cream, figs stuffed with various treats (see a bonus idea for this, below), salads, pizzas... but today's recipe is nearly as simple as just popping them in your mouth: Figs topped with a lovely balsamic vinegar and the flavourful (but not too strong) Manchego sheep's milk cheese, baked briefly and eaten warm. Heavenly.
