Categories     appetizer

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 Black Mission figs
1/2 cup blue cheese, cut into cubes
8 prosciutto (thinly sliced, cut in half lengthwise)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill. You will need medium to high heat for grilling. The key is to crisp the prosciutto quickly and leave the blue cheese just melted with the inner part of the fig cool in temperature.
  • Cut the figs in half and place a piece of blue cheese on each fig half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
  • Grill each piece until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.

4 large whole figs (or 16 small mission figs), quartered
Goat cheese
1 (3-ounce) package prosciutto

  • Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
  • Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.

Figs cooked with honey and cinnamon over ricotta - from Claire Robinson of the Food Network. You can use vanilla yogurt instead of ricotta if you wish, or try them over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini with or without the ricotta. This reminds me of Recipe #186144, which is quite delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them. Avoid figs that are too soft or have any blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the figs in half. This will help to prevent the figs from tearing.
  • Gently scoop out the inside of the figs, leaving a thin shell. You can use a melon baller or a small spoon to do this.
  • Mix the ricotta cheese with the honey and cinnamon. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to taste.
  • Stuff the ricotta cheese mixture into the figs. Be careful not to overfill the figs, or they will burst.
  • Wrap the figs in prosciutto slices. Overlap the prosciutto slices slightly, so that the figs are completely covered.
  • Drizzle the figs with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the figs in a preheated oven until the prosciutto is crispy and the figs are heated through. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the figs warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Roasted fresh figs stuffed with fresh ricotta and wrapped in prosciutto are a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a party or a special occasion. The sweet figs, creamy ricotta, and salty prosciutto complement each other perfectly. These figs are sure to impress your guests!
