PROSCIUTTO-ROASTED FIGS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig to enclose it. Stand the figs on a baking sheet.

Tips:
- Choose ripe figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when pressed. Avoid figs that are too soft or have any blemishes.
- Roast the figs cut side up: This will allow the natural sugars in the figs to caramelize and create a delicious glaze.
- Use a variety of figs: If you can find them, try using a mix of black and green figs. This will add a variety of flavors and textures to the dish.
- Pair the figs with salty and sweet ingredients: The salty prosciutto and sweet honey perfectly complement the figs. You could also try pairing the figs with other salty ingredients, such as bacon or goat cheese, or with other sweet ingredients, such as balsamic vinegar or maple syrup.
