  • 1 pint fresh Black Mission or Brown Turkey figs, halved

  • 1 cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch wedges

  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

  • Best-quality honey, for drizzling

Directions

  1. Arrange cheese slices on a serving platter, and top with figs and melon wedges. Sprinkle with almonds, and drizzle with honey.
