    Title: Figs In A Blanket
    Categories: Fruits, Breads, Cheese, Wine, Chilies
    Yield: 12 Servings

    12 Fried mission figs; halved
    - lengthwise
    3/4 c Dry red wine
    3 tb Honey
    1 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    1 (1") cinnamon stick
    8 oz Tube crescent rolls
    1/4 c Gorgonzola cheese
    1 lg Egg
    Sesame or poppy seeds

    Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

    In a small saucepan stir together figs, wine, honey, red
    pepper and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce
    heat to low and simmer 10 minutes or until figs are
    softened. Remove figs with a slotted spoon, reserving
    wine mixture. Discard cinnamon stick.

    Unroll dough, separate into eight triangles and cut each
    lengthwise into three narrow triangles. Spread 1/2
    teaspoon gorgonzola on each triangle and top with a fig
    half. Roll pastry around fig and press to seal. Arrange
    point-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

    Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush
    top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with
    seeds. Bake 11-14 minutes or until golden brown.

    Serve warm with reserved wine mixture for dipping,
    if desired.
