HEAVEN! 🙂
Very shortly after my accident a few weeks ago my friend Abby (of the Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, Toasted Marshmallow cupcake fame) brought me a lunch any foodie could appreciate. We had fresh panini with heirloom tomatoes, pesto aioli, jarlsberg cheese, all sorts of roasted meats, yummy salad and she also brought figs and brie for snacking. After having had my first real fig (read: not Fig Newtons) the week before in class, I was definitely inspired to make something from them. We stuffed each fig with brie cheese and wrapped it in salami. We popped them in the oven and after the brie got all warm and gooey in the center and the salami got all hot and crispy on the outside they were ready to come out. They turned out so great! Sweet, salty, creamy and delicious!

Ps. This is a crazy easy appetizer, it would be awesome at parties!

Salami Wrapped Brie Stuffed Figs
Makes 24

12 Figs
1 Wedge Brie Cheese
24 pcs of very thinly sliced salami
small skewers or large toothpicks would work

Preheat oven to 400
Start by cutting the figs in half from top to bottom. Leave the fig stem on, it makes a great handle to pick them up with.
Using a teaspoon, scoop out a small well in the center of each fig. (don’t throw out what you scoop out. It’s great on toast!)
Cut an appropriate size piece of brie to slightly over fill the well in the center of the fig.
Place the fig, brie side up, on a piece of salami and wrap the salami up both sides of the fig. Put skewer through the fig to hold the salami in place.
Place all figs on a very lightly sprayed cookie sheet.
Cook about 5-7 minutes until salami begins to crispy and the brie begins to soften. Keep an eye on them! Each oven is different. Pull them out when they look good to you.

Enjoy!
