Figs are starting to show up at farmers markets and should stick around through October. A unique fruit, the fig can often stump people when trying to cook with them. I think figs are perfect on their own with a little bit of salt and pepper, but when I want a more substantial meal I will make a hearty toast for breakfast or lunch on the go. Its a quick meal to make using just a few staple ingredients often found already in your pantry and refrigerator. –Justin Burke-Samson
