Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • 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!
