Prosciutto Wrapped Figs And Blue Cheese
- 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
- 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.
