Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, blend the Wood River Creamery Original Cheddar Gruyere Spread and cream cheese with a hand mixer (or by hand) until combined.
Spread the cheese mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish.
Spoon the fig jam over the cheese mixture, spreading into an even layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fig jam is bubbling and hot.
While the dip bakes, optionally toast the chopped nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic (this will just take a few minutes). Transfer the toasted nuts to a plate or bowl as soon as you small the nuts roasting (it's a good indicator they're done) to avoid burning.
Once the dip is out of the oven, sprinkle it with the toasted nuts (if using).
Allow the dip to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
