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!

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 cup finely chopped stemmed dried Calimyrna figs (about 5), divided
4 canned figs, drained, patted dry, sliced
3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out dough on work surface to 12x9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle 1/4 cup dried figs over center third of dough. Fold left side of dough over figs. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup dried figs. Fold right side of dough over second layer of figs to cover. Using rolling pin, gently flatten dough to 12x7-inch rectangle; place on baking sheet. Arrange fig slices atop dough. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese, then sugar and ground black pepper. Bake bread until golden brown and cheese melts, about 25 minutes. Serve bread warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe figs: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your focaccia.
  • Don't overcrowd the focaccia: Leave some space between the figs so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be patient: Focaccia takes a little time to rise, but it's worth the wait.
  • Serve warm: Focaccia is best enjoyed when it's still warm from the oven.

Conclusion:

Fig focaccia with gorgonzola cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion.
