Brûléed figs are an excellent garnish for sweet and savory dishes alike, or make a tasty snack! They look elegant and fancy and have an elevated taste and texture, but are so easy and quick to make.
Slice figs and arrange on a baking sheet or other heat proof tray.
Sprinkle an even layer of sugar over each fig that completely covers the surface.
Brulee the sugar using a kitchen blow torch until the surface is bubbling and turns a golden brown. Alternatively, place them under the broiler/grill but do not leave them unattended, and watch carefully, or they will burn.
Carefully remove from the tray and serve immediately.
