Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Figs Stuffed With Gorgonzola Dolce Food

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPPED FIGS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently clean figs, remove stem and slice each in half lengthwise.
• Stack gorgonzola cheese pieces on each half fig.
• Wrap fig and gorgonzola with thinly sliced prosciutto all the way around.
• Arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 375F for 5 minutes, cheese should be soft and prosciutto has begun to crisp.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED GORGONZOLA STUFFED FIGS

Steps:

• Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until the just cheese starts to melt, about 3-5 minutes.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill and brush with a grill brush to remove any excess crud and fat. After brushing, run an oiled towel over the grates to pick up any loosened crud or soot.
• Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with goat cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper, if using, on top of the goat 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 a cooler spot of the preheated 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, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the figs are grilling, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Taste, and add salt, if needed. Arrange on individual serving plates or a serving platter and top with the figs. Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each fig and serve.
• Its figgy delicious!

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FIGS WITH GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Turn figs; broil about 1 1/2 minutes longer, watching closely to prevent burning. Place 1/2 teaspoon Gorgonzola atop each fig half. Top each with walnut piece. Serve warm or at room temperature.
