Equipment
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 6 fresh figs
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray if needed.
- Wash and dry the fresh figs. Remove any stems. Using a sharp knife, stand up each fig and slice each in half vertically. If the base/bottom is tough or woody, slice it off.
- Place the figs, cut side up, on the baking sheet & top with blue cheese, if using it.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto in half longways. This is so each strip is a long narrow piece & now you have 12 strips. Wrap each strip around each fig half with the ends coming together on the top.
- Once the oven is preheated, place the figs on the center rack to cook. Roast the figs for 5 minutes.
- Using a spoon, lift the figs gently off the baking sheet & arrange on a serving platter.** the figs will be soft so using tongs will squish them, a spoon is best.
- Serve while warm. For added flavor drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy hot, cold, or at room temperature.
