Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 fresh figs, top end cut off about 1/3 down
Fresh ricotta, (about 3/4-1 cup)
Red pepper flakes
White balsamic vinegar
Prosciutto slices, divided in thirds lengthwise
Olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Scoop out as much of inside of each fig as is possible to maintain a nice solid shell. Wrap each fig with a prosciutto strand. Spoon ricotta into middle of each fig, mounding a little. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste. Drizzle with white balsamic vinegar and then a touch of olive oil. Put into oven-proof pan or dish and broil until top gets a little browned and bubbly, about 7-10 minutes.

Tips:

Choose ripe, plump figs for the best flavor and texture.
If using dried figs, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before stuffing.
Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations.
Wrap the figs tightly in prosciutto or bacon to prevent them from drying out.
Bake or grill the figs until the filling is heated through and the prosciutto or bacon is crispy.
Serve the figs warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Stuffed and wrapped figs are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With so many different filling options, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
