Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large whole figs (or 16 small mission figs), quartered
Goat cheese
1 (3-ounce) package prosciutto
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
  • Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GORGONZOLA DOLCE

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 48 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 Black Mission figs, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 pounds gorgonzola dolce
Crushed red pepper flakes
48 slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  • Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the 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 the 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, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve. It's figgy delicious!

Provided by Terese

Categories     Fruit

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 fresh figs
50 g gorgonzola (dolce)
4 slices prosciutto
1 cup rocket
extra virgin olive oil
salt
cracked pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200oC.
  • Make a small cut at the top of each fig and push in a little piece of gorgonzola. Wrap each fig in a slice of prosciutto.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. The cheese will melt and the prosciutto will be crisp.
  • Serve immediately on rocket leaves dressed in olive oil and salt, and finish with a little finely cracked pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them. Avoid figs that are too soft or have any bruising.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto: The quality of the prosciutto will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a good balance of salt and sweetness.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality balsamic glaze: Balsamic glaze can vary in quality, so it's important to choose one that is thick and flavorful. You can find balsamic glaze at most grocery stores or online.
  • Serve immediately: Prosciutto-wrapped figs are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the prosciutto is crispy and the figs are still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-wrapped figs with gorgonzola and walnuts are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
