Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Place the flour, butter, blue cheese, and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
- 3. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull it together. Then roll out to a 1/8-inch-thick circle with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch round cutter and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Reroll the scraps (no more than once) and cut more rounds.
- 4. Using the back of a rounded 1/2-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the center of each dough round. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of the fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentation.
- 5. Bake the savouries until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Steps:
- Toast pistachios in a small saute pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine goat cheese and cream cheese using a wooden spoon. Form a heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture into a small ball, and transfer to a small plate or parchment-lined baking sheet; repeat with remaining cheese mixture.
- Place peppercorns and pistachios each on two separate plates. Roll 18 of the balls in the peppercorns and the remaining 18 balls in the pistachios.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
- If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens.
- To make the bites ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to serve, thaw them in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- These bites are also delicious served warm. To warm them, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through.
- For a vegetarian version of these bites, omit the prosciutto and add more figs.
Conclusion:
Fig and blue cheese bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover figs. With their sweet and savory flavors, these bites are sure to please everyone at your party.
