Maple-Glazed Figs
with Hazelnut Mascarpone

Serves 4

  • Mascarpone, 2/3 cup
  • Pure maple syrup (grade A dark amber), 5 tablespoons, divided
  • Figs, large, ripe, 6, rinsed and dried
  • Hazelnuts chopped, 1/4 cup, toasted

Maple-Glazed Figs

 

1. Put the mascarpone and 4 tablespoons of the maple syrup in a small bowl and stir until blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve or for up to 4 days.

2. Arrange an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

3. Cut the figs in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Broil the figs, rotating the pan once, until bubbling and caramelized, about 3 minutes.

4. To serve, arrange the warm figs (3 per person) on small plates. Drizzle with any accumulated juices in the baking sheet. Serve the warm figs with the maple mascarpone and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.
