Photo: Prosciutto Wrapped Figs And Blue Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

We have a brown turkey fig tree and it's a great producer. This recipe is great with those figs. I insert a small bit of blue cheese in a whole fig, wrap with the prosciutto and bake at 350 for 12-15 mins, then drizzle with a bit of good honey, serve room temp to warm. YUMMM. It's a keeper!

Great, this is easy & tastes great. Everyone loves this recipe when I make it. I use gorgonzola cheese instead of blue cheese.
