Figs with Prosciutto and Maytag Blue

IMG_5247 Roasted figs with prosciutto and goat cheese

We have an old fig tree in our back yard and this is one of my favorite ways to prepare them.

  • With a paring knife, slice an "X" at the bottom of each fig.
  • Insert a dollop of soft cheese into the "X". Suggested cheeses: goat cheese, blue cheese (especially "Maytag Blue"), burrata, brie
  • Wrap a slice of Prosciutto di Parma around each fig.
  • Place under broiler until the edges of the prosciutto are crispy, around 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer. 
  • Lick your fingers.
