I tried this recipe and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would prefer it with less balsamic glaze next time.

OMG! This dish is amazing! The figs were perfectly roasted and the balsamic glaze was to die for. The gorgonzola added a nice salty touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I made this recipe last night and it turned out great! I used fresh figs from my garden and they were so sweet and juicy. The balsamic glaze was easy to make and added a wonderful depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a delight! The combination of sweet figs, tangy balsamic glaze, and salty gorgonzola was divine. I served it as an appetizer at my last dinner party and it was a huge hit. Everyone raved about the unique and delicious flavors.
