Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 100 grams Stilton cheese
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions
Wash the figs gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each fig in half lengthwise and arrange on a serving platter with the cut sides facing up.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into small pieces and evenly distribute them over the figs.
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly before roughly chopping. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the figs and cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the honey dressing evenly over the figs, cheese, and walnuts.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the platter for an extra layer of aroma and flavor.
