The day before baking, I prepared the batter. It’s convenient because it uses just one bowl, and it’s ready to spoon into the mini muffin pan. I only baked what I needed, 6 bites each time, and the pan even fit in my toaster oven, so that was a plus. The blue cheese wasn’t overpowering, but added just enough saltiness and background flavor to the dried fruit. I used cut-up prunes instead of figs (not a fan), and I might try apricots next time, since this is a delicious and easy recipe.
Head over to the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see what the other bakers made.
Oh, those look wonderful. I am loving those crispy edges...so good and the blue cheese pared with those has to be delicious. I am using apricots and made my batter to park in the fridge overnight as well. Mark doesn't like figs but secretly, I may make a little batch like you did with some figs as I love them and it is fig season here. Nice photo...and I am not hesitant at all seeing those.
ReplyDeleteGood to know...I was a little worried about these haha! Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteThese look lovely! Can't wait to make them!
ReplyDeleteI baked all my bites at once and reheated them in the toaster oven but I like your idea of baking a few at a time better.
ReplyDeletei made these last holiday season, but now you have me excited to bake them again!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you posted these so we could see what they look like. I am glad that your substitutions worked. I am baking mine today, fingers crossed.
