Fresh figs are in season! What's your favorite way to use them? (cheese, oven)

[Jkgourmet]

Mine is this salad, replacing the dried figs with fresh, and usually gorgonzola for the blue cheese.

I just like to eat them plain. But this year we had too many and I finally had to make a fig cake. It's just some recipe I found online, looks like it was made to use up figs, with jam filling, etc. I left out the filling and put in a few walnuts and it was pretty nice. Fig galette next time I have a good crop.

I have been having them with lunch, no particular recipe, but I will be following this thread with interest, as our fig tree is producing well.

I like them right off my tree, but I can’t eat too many because they have the same effect on me as prunes to someone else. Lol

i like them but i'd be contributing to global warming with all the methane …

They made what looked like homemade fig newtons on The Great British Bake-off this week.

Love making fig jam for a pizza with blue cheese and prosciutto.

Gorgonzola for me, please. And add arugula immediately after you take it out of the oven.

Our go-to is raw with goat cheese and honey, but we always have preserves (jam) and I'm about to make a fig and prosciutto pizza. Since we have to beg (or steal) figs, we never have a ton on and.

That pizza also has fresh moz on it too and a drizzle of garlic infused EVOO. We usually use either gorgonzola or Papillon bleu (black label).
