Title: Cheese Filled Baked Figs
Categories: Appetizer Israel Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings

18		Fresh figs
8	oz	Cream cheese
2	oz	Sliced almonds
		Salt and black pepper
1		Egg yolk
1	ts	Pastis

Cut the top of each fig, creating a "lid", but let it remain connected to the fig "body".

Using a small teaspoon, empty the fig contents to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, mix well with a fork. Fill each fig plentifully, so that the "lid" doesn't close. Arrange the filled figs on an oven tray, cover and refrigerate.

Transfer to a very hot oven 15 minutes before serving. Remove from oven after 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, and serve. Makes 6 servings of 3 figs per person each.
