A while back, I had some ladies over for a fabulous luncheon. For an appetizer, I made Roasted Prosciutto Wrapped Figs. You can’t get much simpler or more elegant for an appetizer.
Seriously. This takes very little time to put together and looks fancy and decadent. Whoever you’re having over, they’ll be impressed.
When I was a kid, I loved Fig Newtons. They were one of my favorite cookies. I don’t remember eating an actual fig until I was an adult. But they are sweet and rich and remind me of childhood.
With this recipe, the roasting brings out a caramelized sweetness to the figs, a deeper flavor. The prosciutto donates its saltiness to the cause and crisps up in a way to add delightful texture. And really, who doesn’t like bacon?
I had initially planned to put a dollop of goat cheese inside each fig before wrapping them, but skipped this. One member of my party was dairy free. So instead, I had some soft goat cheese set aside. The dairy friendly among us just smeared a little on our plates.
It worked beautifully. The combination was so delicious! If you are making a cheese plate or bar as a starter for a party, these figs would be a fabulous thing to add. Fig season is on its way. Be sure not to miss out.
Roasted Prosciutto Wrapped Figs
Cut figs in half. Cut strips of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap figs in strips of prosciutto. Place on parchment lined baking sheets.
Roast at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until prosciutto crisps and the figs start to caramelize.
Let cool slightly and serve.
Drink a glass of wine and enjoy.
Bon Appétit!
