a sweet and savory treat from my yard and my grill

I keep trying to explain the difference between sweet and savory to my carnivore. I give examples – like brownies are sweet, but steak is savory. And he just looks at me befuddle. “But they both taste really good. I don’t get it.” Sigh. These are the burdens of being a foodie living with a man who has the palate of a five year old. I can’t even bring up the idea of something that is both sweet and savory in the same dish.

But this grilled fig pie is just that. The sweet figs and honey are balanced perfectly with the strong blue cheese and buttery crust. Plus, it is simple to make. And while my carnivore might not like or understand it fully, it does involve the grill – which he can get behind.

We are lucky enough to have a fig tree in our backyard. Last year I had so many figs I many cinnamon fig preserves for everyone to have at Christmas. This year the squirrels were faster than me. But I am so glad I salvaged enough to make this pie. It was incredible. Sweet and savory.
