Description
This hors d’oeuvre would pair wonderfully with a berry-red wine, port or sherry. Or try serving them as a first course with a winter salad. Enjoy! If Figs aren’t in season, Fig Spread can be substituted.
Preparation
Pre-heat the broiler on high.
In a small bowl combine the blue cheese and heavy cream. Use a sturdy rubber spatula or small metal spoon to blend the cream into the cheese, making a smooth spread.
Place the oatcakes on a baking pan and top each one with some blue cheese spread. Top the cheese with 1-2 fig slices. Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 15-30 seconds. Use a metal tong to rotate the pan as needed, making sure the figs and cheese turn bubbly.
Top the fig hors-d'oeuvres with the fresh chopped herbs and serve.
