Chef's Tips

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for an extra decadent treat.

You can substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts.

If you don't have orange zest, a squeeze of lemon juice will also work.

For a richer flavor, add a pat of butter to the center of each fig before baking.
