Roasted Figs Blue Cheese & Walnut Spread
A quick and easy appetizer cheese spread
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh figs stems removed and sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons honey divided
- 1 large sprig fresh rosemary
- 5 ounces blue cheese
- 8 ounces Greek cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt

- Spread the fig halves in a single layer in a baking dish, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle about half of the rosemary needles around the figs, and lay the remainder over the top of the figs.
- Roast the figs for about 30 minutes, or until they are softened and just starting to brown a bit in spots. Stir once or twice while roasting to coat with the honey.
- Let the roasted figs cool to room temperature.
- Combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, vanilla and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, and process until smooth.
- Add the roasted figs and walnuts and pulse just until the figs are broken down into small pieces.
- Serve with crackers and fruit.
