The idea for this recipe came from my friend at work. She had a dinner party and made a variation of these for her guests. They were a huge hit. I love fig and generally serve a fig jam on my cheese plates when I have company. I thought this would be a great change of pace for once as it is a hot appetizer. I'll be honest, they are not the most appeasing to the eye, but if you can get past that, they are simply wonderful :)
