GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Preheat the grill and brush with a grill brush to remove any excess crud and fat. After brushing, run an oiled towel over the grates to pick up any loosened crud or soot.
- Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with goat cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper, if using, on top of the goat cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
- Put the figs on a cooler spot of the preheated grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- While the figs are grilling, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Taste, and add salt, if needed. Arrange on individual serving plates or a serving platter and top with the figs. Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each fig and serve.
- Its figgy delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallots until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into shallots; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer shallot mixture to a bowl; stir in goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, figs, and basil until well combined.
- Pound each chicken breast on a work surface until thin. Spoon about 1/4 cup goat cheese mixture onto the middle of each piece of chicken. Roll chicken around the filling and wrap 2 pieces prosciutto around each chicken roll, covering the opening with 1 layer of prosciutto. Place chicken rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; turn chicken and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before serving.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FIG HEARTS
Our riff on the popular finger food devils on horseback swaps out the traditional prunes and bacon for dried figs and prosciutto and ups the ante with goat cheese. Cut into hearts, the no-cook appetizer works equally well for Halloween as it does for Valentine's Day.

Steps:
- Using a paring knife, slice a small pocket in rounded end of a fig. Stuff pocket with a scant teaspoon of cheese; press down to form a heart shape. Wrap with a third of a prosciutto slice; secure with a cocktail pick. Repeat with remaining figs. Drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar; serve. Wrapped figs may be refrigerated, covered in plastic wrap, up to 8 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, plump figs: Look for figs that are soft to the touch and have a slight give when pressed. Avoid figs that are too hard or have any blemishes.
- Use high-quality prosciutto: The quality of the prosciutto will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overstuff the figs: A little bit of goat cheese goes a long way. Overstuffing the figs will make them difficult to eat and will also make them more likely to fall apart.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the prosciutto: This will help to keep the prosciutto in place and prevent it from unraveling.
- Cook the figs until the prosciutto is crispy: This will give the figs a nice caramelized flavor and will also help to firm up the goat cheese.
Conclusion:
Prosciutto-wrapped figs with goat cheese are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for parties or potlucks. The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy goat cheese is a winner that is sure to please everyone.
