Title: Cheese filled baked figs
 Categories: Appetizers, Israeli, Cheese/eggs
      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.
