Step 2 - Melt the butter, gorgonzola and cream in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and stir.

Step 3 - Place the figs in a oven proof dish (I put it on a sheet of parchment just in case) and pour the cream sauce over it. Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 1 minute.
