Fresh figs are in season, and I want to share with you a new way to enjoy them. Toss your figs on the grill! They make an incredible brie stuffed grilled figs appetizer! Just drizzle on some honey and serve them up.

Have you ever grilled fruit? How about grilled figs?

I saw a photo on Pinterest last week of a slice of grilled watermelon that really caught my eye. At first my mind couldn’t wrap around the concept of cooking watermelon, or any fruit for that matter. I love these grilled banana gluten free whoopie pies!

Questions raced through my mind…did the heat destroy or add to the flavor of the watermelon? Did the char marks change the watermelons taste? How would brie stand up to the grilled fruit sweetness?

My kids wondered how do you grill fruit, so we grilled these figs together. I almost had to wrestle the brie away from my daughter for this recipe. She LOVES brie and didn’t want to let us use it in this appetizer recipe.

Figs

Figs come in many different colors and varieties.

I had a box of brown figs sitting on the counter that were about to spoil, making these the perfect fruit for us to experiment with. This recipe will work with any variety of fig.

There is something magical about brie and figs. The gooey brie cheese flavors just mesh with the sweetness of the figs and honey!

(As you can see, there are a lot of pictures in this post. It was so hard to choose which photos to include in this post. They all came out beautifully. You can almost see the honey drip slowly, wrapping around these figs.)

How to grill figs:

These figs look beautiful on the grill. I kept the lid open and grilled them slowly so they wouldn’t burst. lightly brush with organic cold pressed olive oil to prevent burning.

When they looked like they had softened, I brought them inside. Carefully make two deep cuts from the top down. Insert a small chunk of brie. the heat from the figs helped soften the brie even more, melding the flavor into the figs.

Next, I drizzled honey and then sprinkled some cracked pepper on top. These figs would be a perfect appetizer if you need a fancy dish for a party.

The verdict: grilled figs were delicious and I can easily see grilling figs in my future. The flavors really work well together.

    • Thank you Sharon. My daughter is a brie addict. She went to sleep away camp and left half of a wedge uneaten. I didn’t want it to go bad, which is what got me thinking of things to do with it 🙂 I am glad you like the recipe, have a great afternoon.

    • Thank you Rini. Have you tried the cotton candy figs? They are some odd heirloom variety. There is one vendor, Capay Organics, that have them at our local farmer’s market. They are pretty incredible.

    • Thank you Robyn. Figs are addictive 🙂 I am hoping we beat the squirrels to the ones in our tiny tree this year. Those beasts are awful and my dog doesn’t like to hang outside and guard LOL. I appreciate your comment. Please let me know how your fig experiments go.
