INGREDIENTS
12 FIGS cut in half
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 pound bleu cheese
crushed red pepper flakes
24 slices prosciutto
oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 pound bleu cheese
crushed red pepper flakes
24 slices prosciutto
oil
Directions
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon
of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the
cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each
fig very lightly with olive oil.
Put the figs on the grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs
gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the
outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become
crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes.
Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve.
