Categories     easy, quick, dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons mild honey
6 plump figs, trimmed and halved
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus extra leaves for garnish
4 tablespoons crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Spoon the honey over the cut sides of the figs. Heat a large, heavy skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the butter - it should sizzle briskly when it hits the pan. Throw in the thyme sprigs, followed by the figs, cut sides down. Leave undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes to caramelize, then turn the figs over and cook for another minute.
  • Transfer the figs to a plate. Return the skillet to the heat and add about 5 tablespoons water. Simmer, scraping the caramelized honey with a spoon. Pour this sauce over the figs and serve warm with generous spoonfuls of crème fraîche and a few extra thyme leaves.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my figs didn't caramelize. They were still good, but they weren't as flavorful as I expected.

I didn't have any crème fraîche, so I used sour cream instead. It was still delicious!

I found the instructions to be a bit confusing. I think it would be helpful if there were more detailed instructions.
