The following recipe is reprinted with permission of Cook's Illustrated



1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, minced

1 small garlic clove, minced

2 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

2 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (about 1⁄2 cup)

1⁄4 cup chopped toasted walnuts

3 medium dried figs, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

1 tablespoon dry sherry

Salt and ground black pepper

 

Heat butter in medium skillet over low heat until melted; add onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer; set aside. In medium bowl using hand mixer, beat cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Stir in onion mixture, gorgonzola, walnuts, figs, and sherry; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
