Ingredients

  • 1 (approx 9 ounce) robiola cheese, left whole
  • 3 tablespoons fig preserves, such as Agrimontana
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted hazelnuts, such as Antica Torroneria Piemontese roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Crostini, crackers or vegetables for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Make a crosshatch pattern on the top of the robiola. Place the robiola in a small baking dish. Spread the cheese with the fig preserves and drizzle with the oil. Bake until the cheese is soft when gently touched with a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the hazelnuts, thyme leaves and cracked black pepper. Serve with crostini, crackers or vegetables for dipping and slathering.
