6 fresh figs, top end cut off about 1/3 down
Fresh ricotta, (about 3/4-1 cup)
Red pepper flakes
White balsamic vinegar

  • To ensure that the prosciutto is crispy, cook it over medium heat until it is golden brown and slightly curled.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, you can add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • This dish can be served as an appetizer or a main course. If you are serving it as a main course, you can pair it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
