My brother and I shared a house in Tempe, AZ back in the 80's. We had a large, prodigious fig tree in the back yard. We experimented with many recipes to utilize the bounty of fruit. These became a favorite served as appetizers with cocktails. —MissSuzi

The best! I use Gorgonzola and they are a great starter for a barbecue or as a small plate alongside a hearty salad.
