Fig And Walnut Bostock

• 1 cup walnuts
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
• 8 1"-thick slices brioche, preferably day-old (from about 1 medium loaf)
• 8 large fresh figs, quartered
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Powdered sugar (for serving)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 8.10 minutes; let cool. Pulse in a food processor until finely ground.
2. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and honey until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Mix in egg, then flour, baking powder, salt, and walnuts just to blend.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Whisk eggs and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and brush 1 side of brioche slices with egg wash. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and spread each slice with about 2 tablespoons walnut creme. Top with figs, cut side up. Brush figs with butter and drizzle with honey.
4. Bake bostock until edges are golden brown and figs look softened and juicy, 20.25 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let bostock cool.
5. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
