These tasted wonderful. However, the presentation is rather bland and one that wouldn't be a first pick or go-to appetizer on a buffet table. (Hint, no picture with recipe). Next time I would top off the appetizer with some chopped roasted almonds or walnuts to add some texture and appeal.

These are so simple and yet full of great flavor. I made just a few of these for our own weekly cheese plate so I cut back on the ingredients for just a few of these. Amazing flavors with the salty-tartness of blue cheese along with a subtle sweetness of the fig preserves. I've never had fig preserves before but I'm glad I have a jar of it now to make more of these!

These are simply AMAZING. We fixed them for a women's event at church and they were such a hit we had to make another batch. They were my favorite!
