Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Figs Stuffed with Gorgonzola Dolce
- 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
- 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!
