Description
These blue cheese and fig cups are perfect when you want something that looks fancy but doesn’t take much effort. You’ve got the sharp, creamy blue cheese playing off the sweet, juicy figs: a perfect combo. Wrapped in a crispy pastry cup, it only gets better with a quick drizzle of truffle oil at the end. That bit of truffle just adds a bit of depth, making it taste way more complex than it really is. They’re quick, easy, and look great on the plate. Serve them up as a little appetiser or alongside a salad, and you’ve got yourself a crowd-pleaser without breaking a sweat.
