These were amazing with the fresh, creamy burrata, but any style cheese plate would benefit mightily from the shiny, sexy fruit. If cheese isn't your thing, go grab a pint of vanilla ice cream, forget all about that sweet-savory thing, and just go full-dessert.

Fig Brulee with Burrata Cheese

figs,

Demerara sugar

Burrata cheese

extra virgin olive oil

salt black pepper

Place figs on a flame-proof surface or plate and sprinkle flesh-sides with Demerara sugar. Using a kitchen torch set to a medium-high flame, melt the sugar by making short, even passes over the top of the sugar. Continue melting the sugar until it bubbles and turns dark brown, about 30 seconds.


Place Burrata cheese on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Place bruleed figs around cheese and serve.


This was a tasty, light and relatively low calorie dessert. I used ricotta cheese drizzled with honey instead of salt and pepper. As I don't own a kitchen torch, I lined a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up) and broiled the sugar on the halved figs under a low heat for a few minutes - turned out just right but keep an eye on them as the sugar will quickly turn from melted to burnt. This is one I will make again as it's easy enough to make a quick dessert just for one person as it is for several more.

This turned out great.  Though I used honey, I drizzled on top.  delish!

Five stars! I ate the entire platter.Enjoyed over eating! Thanks for a great recipe!

I have nevr eaten a fig. My neighbor gave me some figs today. I to this site tried the recipe and was happy with the culinary finding.

Quick and easy and makes you look good. Flavors weren't quite as vibrant as I had expected but it was still yummy and easy to make.
