Fresh Figs For Breakfast
- 6 Fresh Figs
- about 1/3 Wheel of Red Hawk Cheese from Cowgirl Creamery
- 4 fresh organic eggs
- 1/2 freshly baked baguette, sliced on the diagonal and toasted
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Sea Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut the small stem off the top of the fig.
- Cut an "X" into the top of the fig, going about an inch deep. Gently spread the fig open just a touch.
- Slice your cheese into small cubes. Drop one or two cubes into each fig.
- Arrange figs on an ovenproof dish. Drizzle olive oil and sea salt on top.
- Roast for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
- Meanwhile, crack your eggs into a hot cast iron skillet that's slick with olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes and gently flip. Cook for another minute. Top with black pepper and serve along side the figs and toasted bread.
- Be sure to use the bread to sop up the glorious juices and olive oil left in the dish used to cook the figs!
