• crust
• 9 ounces butter crackers such as Ritz
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• -1 Filling
• 3 1/2 ounces prosciutto chopped, + 3 slices, to serve
• 1 clove garlic crushed
• 1 onion small, finely chopped

1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Lightly grease 10 holes of two 6-hole Texas muffin pans. Cut 20 strips of parchment paper 1 x 5 inches long. Line each recess with 2 strips, crossing at the base.
2. Process crackers in a food processor until finely crushed. Add butter, and pulse to combine. Divide mixture between recesses and press firmly into base. Chill.
3. To make the filling: Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium. Add chopped prosciutto and cook for 2 mins. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 mins, until onion is tender and prosciutto is crisp. In a large bowl, beat ricotta and cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs and yolks one at a time and beat until combined. Mix in prosciutto mixture and Parmesan.
4. Divide filling among prepared muffin pans. Bake for 25-30 mins, until just firm. Set aside until cooled slightly, then remove from pan.
5. Preheat broiler on high. Place prosciutto strips on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 1-2 mins each side, until crisp. Serve cheesecakes topped with crisp prosciutto and figs.
