Chef's Tips
Use ripe but firm figs for best results. If the figs are too soft, they may become mushy during baking.
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the baking dish before baking.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a richer dessert.
