Katie's FIG recipe

Here's Katie's recipe (her own original recipe - it is REALLY good!)

Let's see - INGREDIENTS:
12-15 Black Mission Figs
1# of Turkey Bacon (or regular bacon if you prefer)
Gorgonzola Cheese
about 2 C Pecans
Butter
Brown Sugar

◼ Cut the Figs in 1/2 or 1/3 depending on how big/thick they are.
◼ Lay them in a deep dish, pack them tight, side by side, like sardines (you don't want the topping falling through the cracks)
◼ Cook the turkey bacon, crispy but not black, crumble or dice, sprinkle on top of the figs.
◼ Crumble the Gorgonzola and sprinkle on top of the figs.
◼ Quickly saute the Pecans in a cube of butter and 1/2 C to 1C C..brown sugar...you want 'em carmelized but not goo-ey...put this in the freezer til it hardens, then chop up and sprinkle over the figs.
◼ Drizzle heavily with olive oil, and then heavily with balsamic vinegar.

Best to make it in the morning, let it sit so the figs absorb all the flavors, serve at room temperature.

She says all quantities are approximate, there is no wrong way to do this. And it is to die for.
