Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Make-Ahead Magic
Assemble appetizers 3 to 4 hours ahead of your party and refrigerate. You may need to add 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
Kitchen Secrets
Calimyrna figs are large, squat, green-skinned, white-fleshed figs grown in California. Instead of the figs, you can use dried apricot or peach halves, folding them in half around the nut.
