1. Lightly toast the slices of rye bread in a toaster or a dry skillet until just crisp, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Cut the fresh figs into thin slices. Remove the stems before slicing.
3. In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts and chopped fresh rosemary, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes until the walnuts are lightly toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Spread an even layer of blue cheese on top of each slice of toasted rye bread. Use a butter knife to gently press and spread the cheese.
5. Arrange the sliced figs on top of the blue cheese, fanning them out slightly for presentation.
6. Drizzle each smørrebrød with honey to add a layer of sweetness.
7. Sprinkle the toasted rosemary walnuts over the sandwiches for crunch and additional flavor.
8. Serve immediately as a sweet-salty dessert or a unique addition to a snack platter.
