Fig Honey Sauce
Fried Shallots and Coating
Prepare the Olives: Stuff each olive with Boursin cheese, then use additional cheese to fully coat the outside so each olive is completely sealed. Wearing gloves helps keep the coating smooth and not stick. Place the coated olives on a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm.
