The other day, I told you I was going to post a recipe for Stuffed Grilled Figs. I then deleted the post, because it was only 2 sentences long---and it was pretty boring, too.
Anyway, here's what I came up with:
Grilled Stuffed Figs
(makes 2 appetizers; recipe can be easily multiplied)
2 fresh figs
2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
about 2 teaspoons honey
fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Cut an "X" in the top of each fig, cutting down about halfway into the figs. Using your fingers, spread the figs open to form a cavity.
Thoroughly mix together the Feta and the basil; spoon half of mixture into each fig. Grill on medium-high heat (lid closed) until Feta is melted and slight grill marks appear on the figs, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon on honey onto each fig, and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
