    Cut any excess baking paper a little shorter. Cut the cheese crosswise. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes.

    In the meantime, wash the figs, dab dry and cut into slices. Roast the nuts in a pan without fat while turning. Sprinkle with sugar and caramelise. Deglaze with vinegar and 100 ml water.

  4. 4

    Cook until the caramel has dissolved. Take it off the stove. Turn the figs.

  5. 5

    Remove cheese from the oven. Fold up the cut cheese rind and dip baguette slices or pieces into the cheese to eat. Eat the caramelized nuts and figs with it.
