    Method: 

    Fry bacon until each strip is slightly cooked but still very pliable. Drain and set aside. Place scallops flat on a work surface. Cut each one almost in half horizontally, leaving one side attached. Place a small sliver of blue cheese in the middle and top with a dab of fig spread. Close scallop. Wrap a slice of bacon around the perimeter of the scallop and secure with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining scallops and season with freshly ground pepper. Preheat broiler.

    Broil scallops on a greased baking sheet for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning carefully, until bacon is browned and scallops are cooked through. Remove toothpicks and garnish with additional fig spread if desired.
