Here's a super-simple appetizer. Fresh figs are halved and stuffed with any creamy, flavorful cheese. A good blue works, but creamy goat cheese, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, is even more crowd-pleasing.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE



Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Figs Stuffed with Goat Cheese image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Black Mission figs, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, plus extra for dressing
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
12 slices prosciutto
1/2 log goat cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved with a vegetable peeler
Kosher salt

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!

GRILLED FIGS WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES



Grilled Figs With Pomegranate Molasses image

These are wonderful. First you toss them in a mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then you grill them on both sides just until they soften and grill marks appear (at which point they are warm all the way through and just beginning to become jammy), then you remove from the grill and brush with pomegranate molasses. It's a match made in heaven. Serve while the figs are still warm, as a first course with goat cheese, or as a dessert with ricotta or yogurt.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 large or 18 medium-size ripe but firm fresh figs (1 pound)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses (available at Middle Eastern markets)
12 1/2-inch thick slices goat cheese from a log, about 6 ounces (see variations that follow)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill or heat a grill pan to medium-hot. Cut figs in half.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add figs to the bowl and gently toss until they are thoroughly coated.
  • Place on grill or grill pan flat side down. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the heat), until grill marks appear. Turn over using tongs or a spatula and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove to a platter or sheet pan and brush each fig on the cut side with pomegranate molasses (you don't need much).
  • Arrange 2 slices of goat cheese and 2 to 3 whole figs (4 to 6 halves, to taste) on each of 6 serving plates, garnish with mint leaves, and serve.

GRILLED FIGS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO



Grilled Figs with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto image

This dish combines the best of the sweet, smoky, and savory flavors.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces fresh soft goat cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 fresh figs, mixed varieties
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
6 long woody sprigs rosemary
Olive oil for brushing and drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine goat cheese, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl, and stir.
  • Make a small slit in bottom or side of each fig. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip with cheese mixture. Pipe cheese into each fig through slit. Fill figs with just enough cheese so they expand slightly.
  • Tear or cut the prosciutto slices into long strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each fig, and skewer 4 figs on each rosemary sprig. Brush figs with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place figs on a moderately hot grill, rotating skewers until figs are very hot and cheese starts to ooze, about 6 minutes. Remove from grill; serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil and good bread.

FRESH FIGS WITH ROSEMARY GOAT CHEESE



Fresh Figs with Rosemary Goat Cheese image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Goat Cheese     Fig     Rosemary     Chill     Honey     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

11 ounces soft mild goat cheese at room temperature (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, or to taste
1 tablespoon honey
1 pound fresh figs

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together all ingredients except figs until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Rosemary goat cheese may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring goat cheese to cool room temperature before serving.
  • Mound goat cheese in center of a platter. Halve figs and arrange around goat cheese for dipping.

Tips:

  • When selecting figs, look for plump, ripe figs with smooth skin and no bruises. Fresh figs are available from late summer to early fall.
  • Before grilling the cheese, brush it with olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill. You can also use a grill pan if you don't have a grill.
  • Keep an eye on the cheese while it is grilling so that it doesn't burn. The cheese should be cooked until it is slightly softened and golden brown on the outside.
  • Serve the grilled cheese immediately with the fresh figs, honey, and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or herbs for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilled goat's cheese with fresh figs is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. The creamy, tangy cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet, juicy figs. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients.
