Figs and Blue cheese – Yum!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What a easy and delicious little appetizer to serve at your summer parties.<\/p>\n

Happy Memorial Day to everyone and happy birthday to my daughter, Alexis.<\/p>\n

I’m always looking for recipes that are easy to throw together on a moments notice and this recipe is perfect for a last minute appetizer. I don’t find many things hard to make so sometimes If I say easy to throw together, I hope I’m not too far off and, you can make changes to this one and still have a tasty bite. (see note below)<\/p>\n

Appetizers are by far my favorite things to make. I always loved catering cocktail parties because of all the fun little tidbits I could make for the guests to try. There’s just something I like better about trying a lot of little cocktail foods vs a big plate of food. With cocktail foods you can keep going back for more and no one really notices how much you have eaten. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This is another recipe I decided to try out on our bunco group. I hope they like it. (RESULTS– They were a hit.)<\/p>\n

I had really hoped to find fresh figs in the market. I tried a couple of different places but had no luck. One store told me they had tried to get them but at the time they were $30\/lb. So for now I’m using these dried figs and decided to drizzle them with a little fig balsamic vinegar. The balsamic and the honey paired great together.<\/p>\n

My dad always had figs growing at their place and now my sister has the opportunity to go pick those figs anytime she wants when they are in season. I always wanted to try a fresh Fig Newton cookie with them but that’s still on my “to try” list of things.<\/p>\n

The original recipe was just blue cheese spread on baguette slice with two fresh fig halves on top. I decided I would like to use Cambozola cheese (blue and Camembert mixed). I thought that would be too expensive so I bought a box of Camembert and a package of Magtag blue cheese. Not a good decision. I spent probably twice as much on the two cheeses as I would have if I had gone on and bought the Cambozola — live and learn I guess.<\/p>\n

I chose to serve this bruschetta at room temperature. It would be good either hot or room temp.<\/p>\n

These were really nice dried figs. I sliced them in advance and drizzled some fig balsamic over to marinade for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

I just mixed the Camembert and blue cheese together with my hands.<\/p>\n

I stacked up the proscuitto and sliced it into thin strips.<\/p>\n

I waited to drizzle the honey after I got to bunco. The honey was definitely a good addition.<\/p>\n
