Cooking with figs is fairly new to me and I wanted to find a recipe that was unique and exciting. *Mission accomplished.*  Although there was much debate over what I should make with figs (prosciutto wrapped figs, fig tapenade, fig BLTs), the fig gorgonzola crisp truly caught my eye. I am always one to opt for a sweet and salty dessert! ![Fig crisp](https://blog.beyondbumpnutrition.com/hs-fs/hub/68605/file-328214715.jpg?width=481&name=file-328214715.jpg "Fig crisp") Jessica from [HowSweetEats](http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/08/brown-sugar-fig-and-gorgonzola-crisp/) has to be the most creative food blogger I follow.
