Prosciutto Roasted Figs

By grammadot

Ingredients

• 40 small fresh mission figs
• 4 ounces Manchego or blue cheese
• 20 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening.

Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each to enclose like a little cocoon. Stand the figs on a sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes so the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs. Season with lots of ground black pepper. These are terrific hot or at room temperature
