Instructions: Preheat broiler and line broiling pan with a very lightly oiled sheet of foil.

Trim and halve figs. Stir together yogurt, sour cream, zest and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar until smooth.

Spread remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar on a small plate. Dip cut sides of figs in sugar. Place, cut-sides up, on broiling pan (for best results, arrange figs so they will be directly under the flame). Broil 2 inches from flame until bubbling and caramelized, about 3 minutes.

Serve figs with dip.
