Figs with Blue Cheese, Honey and Pistachios – sounds strange right? Who knew this mish-mash of ingredients could actually come together nicely? But somehow it does. I saw this recipe somewhere once and knew it sounded so strange it had to be good. Best to use a really strong blue cheese though – like Roquefort – it accentuates the flavors of the other ingredients more than a light and bland taste blue cheese. So simple to make and makes for a presentable and unique appetizer or snack. Take one bite….strange…give it another shot…hmmm…delicious.
I didn’t measure out any of the ingredients, just halved the figs, layered them with some blue cheese, crushed pistachios and drizzled with honey.

Lovely, lovely recipe and blog. Great combinations of flavors!
Thanks!
Um! Where do you get fresh figs?
They usually have them at Whole Foods!
Nice combo of flavors – I can see the blue cheese in particular combining well with the figs. Might be interesting to sprinkle just a few drops of balsamic vinegar on each fig. I’ll bet that would be amazing. Thanks for this.
Definitely agree on the balsamic. I think the first time I made these I added it but just forgot this time around.
I like the combination too even though I am not a bit fan of figs themselves
Yum, beautiful flavour combination and a beautiful photo! Figs are in season here, I can’t wait to try this.
