Method

Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/ gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Halve the figs, then put them cut-side up in the prepared tray.
Scatter over the walnut pieces and thyme, then drizzle with the honey.
Bake for 5-10 minutes until the figs have deepened in colour, the nuts are toasted and everything smells wonderful.

Divide among serving plates and top with the cheese (we used French st-félicien, but vegetarians could use vegetarian brie or camembert). Grate over a little lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, then serve garnished with extra thyme and honey.
