What do figs taste like?
Figs have a unique and complex flavor profile that can be described as a delightful combination of sweetness and subtle earthy undertones. When you bite into a ripe fig, you’ll experience a honey-like sweetness, often with hints of berry and a slightly nutty taste.
The texture adds to the experience. Its smooth, chewy interior is filled with tiny, crunchy seeds and enveloped by a thin, delicate skin.
Whether enjoyed fresh or dried, figs offer a rich, delectable flavor that’s both exotic and comforting, making them versatile ingredients in sweet and savory dishes.

Figs Stuffed with Gorgonzola Appetizer
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 medium figs dried – about 8 ounces
- ½ Cup(s) port
- 1 tablespoon vinegar balsamic
- ¼ Cup(s) cheese crumbled Gorgonzola – 2 ounces
- ¼ Cup(s) cream cheese reduced-fat – softened
- 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh – chopped
- 2 ounces prosciutto – sliced and trimmed of fat
- pepper black coarsely ground – to taste
Instructions
- Snip the stem off each fig and make a crisscross cut two-thirds of the way down to partially open the fig. Trim the base of each fig so it will sit upright when finished.
- Place the figs, port and vinegar in a small saucepan; cook, uncovered, over low heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the figs are plumped and softened and most of the liquid is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, combine Gorgonzola, cream cheese and rosemary in a small bowl; blend with a fork.
- Cover and refrigerate until the figs are cooled.
- Cut prosciutto into 1/4-inch-wide ribbons.
- Using a teaspoon, melon baller or small spoon, place a dollop of cheese mixture in the opening of each fig.
- Garnish each appetizer with a ribbon of prosciutto. Dust with a grinding of pepper.
