Tips:

Choose fresh, ripe figs for the best flavor and texture.

Use a variety of nuts and seeds for the filling. Some good options include pistachios, walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
Add some honey or maple syrup to the filling for a touch of sweetness.
If you're using fresh herbs, be sure to chop them finely before adding them to the filling.
Be careful not to overstuff the figs, or they will burst open.
Bake the figs until they are slightly softened and the filling is warm and bubbly.
Serve the figs warm or at room temperature.

Pistachio-stuffed figs are a delicious and elegant appetizer or dessert. They're perfect for special occasions, but they're also easy enough to make for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
