Prosciutto Wrapped Figs

Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Cambazola

This is one of the good prosciutto recipes and fig appetizer recipes.

What you need:

• 8 large figs
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/4 lb cambazola cheese (or any creamy blue cheese)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 slices prosciutto or thinly sliced, good quality ham

What you do:

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Slice stems off figs and, keeping the bottom 1/4 intact, cut each fig into quarters lengthwise.

Drizzle a little maple syrup into the center of each fig.

Fill with 1 tbsp cambazola.

Season with black pepper.

Wrap each fig snuggly with a piece of prosciutto to enclose the cheese; secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Using tongs, place figs on a non-stick baking sheet.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes; until prosciutto is just beginning to crisp and cheese is melted.

Serve immediately.

Makes 8 servings.
